[dadbo46 50]

From today's Albany Times-Union:

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Jeffrey Wright has been battling to keep his job since 2010 when he was placed on medical leave by the city.

Wright, 36, was an Army Reserve staff sergeant who served in Iraq from February 2004 to March 2005 and became a firefighter in 2007. He was notified in writing last December by fire Chief Thomas Garrett that he was being targeted for termination. Wright said he has been undergoing treatment since 2009 for PTSD related to his combat service and has not worked since February 2010.
