(AP) - Two Vermont National Guard members serving in Afghanistan will return to their civilian jobs as correctional officers at the Springfield prison after they get back from overseas.  •  The two were among five Department of Corrections employees who felt they were discriminated against or passed over for promotion last year after announcing they were going to Afghanistan.  •  Vermont Public Radio says another National Guard member will not be getting his job back and another found a different job. The case of the fifth correctional officer is still pending.  •  The U.S. Department of Labor helped negotiate the settlement for the two officers who will be getting their jobs back.  •  Human Services Secretary Rob Hofmann calls the settlement fair.  •  Copyright 2010 The Associated Press.
