How do you overturn or appeal a military disqualification?

My fiancee was disqualified from the military because he collapsed his left lung three years ago and his right lung two years ago. However I read online that this should not be a problem after three years. Why was he disqualified and not rejected until his second lung finished the three year wait period specified by the military? Is there a way to overturn a disqualification? He desperately wants to serve his country and is overwhelming depressed that he cannot.How do you overturn or appeal a military disqualification?The three year waiting period is for a single episode of spontaneous pneumothorax. But, he has had recurrent episodes of spontaneous pneumothorax. And that is disqualifying.

one spontaneous pneumothorax: possible waiver. TWO? no way in hell. history of, repeated occurrence, too high a risk of a third one. the second one was less than three years ago. he is DQ'd because is hasn't been three years.. but I can assure you if he goes back in a year he will still be DQ'd.



Military life is MUCH more physically strenuous than the average civilian life. the militray is unwilling to take on the responsibility of someone with a history such as your DF.



less than 30% of all applicants for military service are actually qualified to serve.How do you overturn or appeal a military disqualification?The military physical portion of going in is there to protect the person who wants to join as well as the service - collapsed lungs are serious and there are only a hand-ful of commands that can accommodate that kind of medical emergency if it happens again - and those are the commands that float in the water and can trasnport him to the nearest hospital - it's in his best medical interest to believe what they tell him.How do you overturn or appeal a military disqualification?
If it "shouldn't be a problem" then it wouldn't have been. Talk to your original recruiter and discuss the waiver process.

A friend of mine was disqualified because she had kidney stones in one kidney and then the other. If she'd only had them in one it would have be ok.
