If I applied and the MEPS didn't give me a physical because of a medical condition from when I was a child, am I barred from recruitment?

Not even close to enough information.
If you had a condition as a child for example: scoliosis and you out grew it or received treatment the MEPS is going to want all medical documents concearning that to review.
If you were born with hemophilia then may be you are Ineligible.
What did the recruiter say as to why they didn’t give the physical? There is always a reason given.

SSG Rountree- my 12 years in USAREC tells me that having an applicant read the AR is as a good idea as diagnosing yourself with WebMD. There are waivers for all kinds of things, I’m amazed by some of the stuff that gets approved. It’s always best to let a recruiter launch a MedRead and let it go to the waiver authority. That regulation is always changing and you never know when that positive outcome is going to turn up

MSG (Join to see) I’m not a recruiter but I recently got a waiver approved it wasn’t medical but my waiver was approved and it was one of them hard waivers to get approved and I to to MEPS to swear back in FRIDAY. I been trying for this waiver for years and because the REGS change it was finally aproved so never give up.

If you recruiter or you suspect a Medical problem they you and recruiter submit medical paperwork to the MEPS Dr. For review. They will give you answers. Disqualified or needs more records or medical waiver required. Then recruiter will test you to require AFQT score. Then a physical and then go for a waiver. Submit all of this close to the end of they month. That's when recruiters and Battalion commander will approve many less desirable recruits. Make that mission.

I believe you already posted this one in another thread. Short answer is every service is different for what is waiverable. Talk to your recruiter.
