Falwell’s Navy chaplain wins extension after midnight plea
A late night call from Rev. Jerry Falwell and a follow up letter led Navy Secretary John Lehman to overturn the 1987 Extension Board decision and allow Lt. Gary L. Maxwell, 34, to remain on active duty as a chaplain with the Liberty Baptist Fellowship. Maxwell had faced a three-year term and a noncompetitive rating, but Falwell argued Maxwell’s value and reports from his commanders supported extension. Secretary Lehman’s override occurred on Feb 19, just before Maxwell’s planned release.
