This is the link to the NYS Board of Elections site and a PDF with the scanned copy of a resolution for update of the NYS Constitution. From what I understand of this from a quick read, for someone who served in a time of war, they will be given a bonus of 5 points on a new posting or 2 1/2 points on a posting for a promotion.
Also, for anyone who was disabled from their service for the country, they will be given 10 points on a new posting, 5 points on a promotion (although this is a 1 time extra).
Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, The Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off. We apologize for the inconvenience.
