Alicia Bowens

Hometown: Denver, CO

Occupation: Assistant Director of Information Technology 773d Force Support Squadron

What is your role?

How do you spend your free time?

I spend my free time relaxing. Whether it be enjoying food and drinks with friends and family or spending some quiet time at home.

I’ve been with FSS since July 2022. I transitioned from being an Air Reserve Technician to straight civil service. I’m the Assistant Director of the NAF IT Office. I perform supervisory and Information Technology duties related to the management of Air Force Nonappropriated Funds point-of-sales and Air Force Services Activity business systems on JBER.

What is your favorite activity on JBER?

Tubing at Hillberg Ski Lodge, Arts & Crafts, and Skeet.

Fun fact about yourself?

I love deep sea fishing! Last summer was the first time I went deep sea fishing in Alaska. I caught halibut, salmon, rockfish, and cod. I even caught a stingray (I didn’t keep it).

What are you looking forward to most in your (new) role? Career broadening experience as I transition from the military to civilian life.

What is your favorite thing to do this time of year?

Enjoy springtime and sunshine
