Bowen concluded his 30-year Air Force career in a ceremony Aug. 28, 2020, serving the last four as DNWS commandant. Maj. Gen. Christopher E. Craige, commander of the Air Force Personnel Center at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, presided at the retirement ceremony. Craige (left) also presided when Bowen relinquished command of the 39th Maintenance Squadron in 2013. Bowen said having the opportunity to command twice and be a commandant were highlights of his career. (Courtesy photo)
