S. C. � 2612(a)(1)(C). The Act creates a private right of action to seek both equitable relief and money damages "against any employer (including a public agency) in any Federal or State court of competent jurisdiction," � 2617(a)(2), should that employer 725*725 "interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of "FMLA rights, � 2615(a)(1).

You will need to hire an attorney in the Columbus GA area to protect your rights as GA is a right to work state and an employer may fire any at-will employee at any time for any reason (other than a "bad" reason) - you might want to speak to the JAG office on base (post) ASAP.
