          approximately 18-1/2 years of service as a Federal employee.                
          Petitioner was a data transcriber or a voucher examiner for DFAS            
          at Kelly Air Force Base at San Antonio, Texas.  In essence,                 
          petitioner's duties were to examine vouchers or bills submitted             
          by commissary vendors and approve them for payment.  Petitioner's           
          relations with her immediate supervisors at DFAS were not good.             
          During a confrontation with one of her superiors on September 24,           
          1994, petitioner sustained an injury on the job when she fell,              
          injuring her head, neck, and back.  The injury was disabling, and           
          petitioner came under the care of a doctor.  She was unable to              
          work for intermittent periods and qualified for worker's                    
          compensation benefits under the Federal Worker's Compensation               
          Act.  Petitioner, however, continued her work with DFAS and                 
          received worker's compensation benefits when she was unable to              
          work.  After her employment with DFAS was mutually terminated in            
          1997, petitioner continued receiving worker's compensation                  
          benefits.  At trial, petitioner had a claim pending for total and           
          permanent disability benefits.                                              
               During the course of her employment, petitioner filed                  
          numerous complaints within and without the chain of command in              
          DFAS complaining of various workplace conditions.  Apparently not           
          satisfied with whatever actions, if any, that were taken by DFAS            
          to address these complaints, petitioner contacted a counselor               
          with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) at least
