How do you overturn or appeal a military disqualification?

My fiancee was disqualified from the navy because he collapsed his left lung three years ago and his right lung two years ago. However I read online that this should not be a problem after three years. Why was he disqualified and not rejected until his second lung finished the three year wait period specified by the military? Is there a way to overturn a disqualification? Can he enter a different branch? He is now looking at the army. He desperately wants to serve his country and is overwhelming depressed that he cannot.How do you overturn or appeal a military disqualification?Once the doctor at MEPS determines that the medical condition can or will affect him negatively in the future and the odds of getting a waiver is slim to none, then his career is pretty much tied.

You can't appeak it or have it overturned. I was disqualified for teh USAF in 1990, although it took 12 more years before the same governmetn agreed that I could not work for anyone else either.
