The wavier in question in question was for chest and lungs despite my EKG and X-rays having positive result and a signed document from my personal doctor stating that I was good health and my chest deformity did not inhibit My heart and lungs from functioning normally it was still denied by the command surgeon.

As suggested, you may ask to speak with the Recruiter's leadership. At least you may be provided the reason(s) for denying the waiver.

Speaking to the Recruiter Leadership will not change the disposition from the COMMAND SURGEON. What is the deformity? you need to look in the medical standards, AR 40-501 and the DOD INSTRUCTION 6130.03. It is not up to your personal physician or the recruiter or the recruiters leadership. If you do have a deformity that falls in the "does not meet the standard" isle, then you are putting yourself and others in a precarious position. Furthermore, just because you are "good to go today" does not mean you will be good to go in a austere environment.
Double tap those resources I mentioned and get back to me if you wish.

The deformity is known as pectus excataum and my doctor referred it to being a mild case and saw no worries for RTD and yes I used RTD I was discharged from BCT and now having to fight an up hill battle to get back in

Emilio Mooney - ok, so did you bother looking at that DOD Instruction? Because pectus excataum falls under disqualifying conditions. The Command Surgeon is not recommending you medically for YOUR SAFETY, the Safety of those around you and the possibility of you filing a claim in the future about this.

Talk with your recruiter to see if he can arrange for you to speak with leadership.
