Farewell to our Command Sergeant Major Bowens

Columbia Recruiting Battalion is sad to say goodbye to Command Sgt. Major Stephen Bowens. Although we are proud of the honor bestowed on him with his new assignment, and support him in his new endeavors, all who have had the pleasure of working with this man will surely miss him.

As a way of commemorating the years he has spent in our battalion, Sgt. 1st Class Gregory Henderson created this video slide show. It was shown at the formal farewell dinner on Feb. 2 but we know not everyone was able to attend.

We encourage all of you who have known Command Sgt. Major Bowens to leave a message for him in the comment field below the video. We would love to pass on any memories or well-wishes you have to share.
