Inspired by son, father reenlists in Navy 20 years later
Brett Davenport left the Navy in 1998. Twenty years later, he had to lose 57 pounds to reenlist.
Jeff Schogol
 
 
In 1998, Brett Davenport’s Navy career came to a premature end. His marriage ended and he had sole custody of his two young sons. Unable to go to sea because he didn’t have a working family care program, he was discharged by the Navy.
 
Davenport had planned to make the Navy his career His ultimate goal was to become a chief petty officer. But with the early end of his career, those dreams seemed to be over.

But when his youngest son Clayton enlisted in the Navy in 2016. Davenport realized he wanted a second chance to serve in the Navy.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
