Tough question to answer without additional facts. Generally, the 1994 Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employment Rights Act prohibits employers -- including the federal government -- from firing or otherwise discriminating against a worker who is serving or has served in the military. In DC you would also be protected if you were fired for utilizing accrued medical leave. If, however, you did not have medical leave and failed to report for work because of illness, there may be some issues. If you were actually fired because of filing a grievance against your employer, there are numerous laws that may protect you.
