Got denied a Federal job at a prison because of "NOT able for retention on active duty" on my DD214. Even though it's Honorable. I'm really frustrated since I have been going for this job for about a year. I even signed the contract to start and they just hit me with this. Is there anything to rebuttal this or am I just SOL? Don't mean to rant, just really frustrated that the rug got pulled under my feet while the midst of my getting hired so I can support my family.

I’m not it 100% on this but I would contact your regional ESGR rep and ask some questions. Often they will call the employer and help them understand the laws protecting military veterans.
