Air force boot camp misdiagnosed me at boot camp. How do I fix it?I went into air force boot camp and was diagnosed with asthma. I never had it as a child and never had breathing problems. For the past couple of years I believed I had exercise induced asthma so before I started working out again I went to see my doctor. He did 2 types of test on me and asked me "who said you had asthma?" I told him I went to boot camp and they said I had asthma. He informed me that I had no signs of asthma or anything. How do I go about getting that off my records and join the navy?
I was sick the week before. I always get sick during the winter and this was no different then any other year.The week after I was sick is when i had problems. After about 5 min I was fine I could talk and breath but they felt the need to test me anyways.

How did they diagnose you? You would have had to go to sick call with a respiratory complaint for this to even get started. It's not as though a physician was walking around your barracks checking people's breathing while they slept.
It sounds to me like you were malingering in basic training, and now that you've matured it's come back to bite you in the behind.
Either way. You can go to a recruiter a request a waiver. Bring your ELS DD214 with you and any documentation they gave you at basic training so the recruiter has the correct information to start a request for a waiver for you.
It's going to be very difficult to get into the Navy now with a waiver, all the branches are meeting their quotas.

Probably not going to happen, unless your doctor managed to reproduce Air Force BMT conditions in his office and observed you not having any reaction. Just because you can pass a spirometry and challenge test in a clinical setting does NOT mean you don't have exercise-induced asthma. Because those two tests don't mirror physical exercise.
