I have been trying to join the Army for some time now, and during my enlistment process, I had caught pneumonia and ever since my recruiter has reported me being sick.They have declined me for having Asthma. They have given multiple reasons one of which was that I used an inhaler. The only reason for the inhaler was my doctor wanted me to take it daily for recovery. I have taken pulmonary tests (Lung Function Tests) to prove I have no Asthma and I'm continually being denied. Is there a way around meps?

I have asthma and made it through medical screening for both Naval Academy entrance (and application) and pilot training. You should be able to get a waiver, or at least pursue one. Find out what it takes to get a waiver. At a minimum, get a written explanation from your civilian doctor regarding your current condition (i.e., asymptomatic) and your past diagnosis and advice (i.e., you were only advised to use a rescue inhaler, but your condition does not mandate it, etc.). Ask me further questions if you have any. All the best.

Need a diagnosis from your civilian physician with your current prognosis. Then apply for a waiver
