Can they try to bar from re enlisting because of being on a profile and not being able to preform any duties until your medical situation is resolved

You're asking about a bar, MEB and Chapter, these are all different things. Your PSG is not the authority for any of these things.
A MEB requires a permanent profile from your PCM to initiate
Injury and profile are not a valid reason to bar a Soldier
Theres no such thing as a medical chapter and all chapters are approved at the Brigade and higher level

Only the Commander can bar you. Now keep in mind they will listen and sometimes strongly with the PSG/1SG, if they are good. NCO's are advisors, not rulers. But cross them at your own risk- we have long memories and your life and be altered.

This. If top comes to me and says “hey this soldier is an issue and we’ve done X to try and correct it” then I’m going to listen to top.

Ok, let me put this loud and blunt for you and for anyone else reading. As far as bars, flags, or anything derogatory outside of an counseling statement.
A section leader, squad leader, platoon sgt, even your 1SGT are all powerless. The power lies with your commander. Any of the above can speak to your commander about it but the decision is his to initiate and in the case of chapters those are approved at the Brigade+ level. MEB requires a permanent profile from your PCM to even start.
All the above can TRY all they like but their voices are advice only. Period. They do not hold any significant sway or power. IE It sounds like a PLT SGT is blowing smoke up your six. Ignore them. If you have concerns, bypass the barracks lawyer wannabe and go use your 1SG and/or CO open door policy.
