If my BUMED waiver gets declined, is there anything I can do?

Tried looking on Google and the most recent post is from last year, with most posts in 2011-2013 it seems. I can't find much information and most seems to be from Reddit and jarheads.

Now I know I am battling a lot and most of it is mental health related. Even though I have been cleared by therapists, I understand I can still be denied a waiver. Now I was told I'd be auto DQ'd at MEPS due to my history and would need a waiver through BUMED to move forward. So if I am in fact denied a waiver, is there anything I can do?

Waiver denied means you are not physically qualified. You will not get a second chance even if you go to another state. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Try going into the Army. That's what I did.

You can appeal any BUMED decision. Also try another service, each one has different requirements.
