Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

sailor soldier relief act and dealing with a bond

ok, i went to jail 3 days before i deployed, the right paper work wasnt filled out to get a continuance, so i missed my court date, which in turn i had to pay the bailbondsman for, 3000 dollars. now in the reliefe act i read that i can not be held responsible for bond sureties as long as i can prove i was deployed, or missed the court date because of the military, is this true, and is there anything i can do to get that money back since i allready paid him and have not yet returned home.
