Question 3: Am I being lied to? Can I get the Airborne stamp (and then 18X) with a waiver?

1- Because the MD at MEPS denied your enlistment due to a disqualifying condition. Your physician's diagnosis can be taken into consideration (on advisement) but the MEPS MD is the final authority at that level.
2- Technically speaking regardless of what the medical waiver is for the waiver in itself is a disqualifier for receiving the stamp. That said, it is possible to get an ABN stamp with a waiver (I got one.) It isnt your recruiter thats causing the issue here its someone wanting to put their neck out there and risk you packet being audited, after which the counselor would get his/her ass in trouble.
3- See #2.
