Discharged from Navy DEP. Is there another chance?

I got arrested when I was 16yrs old. Breaking & Entering in a Abandoned house. Judge ordered me to 12 hrs Community Service. Did not even get probation. It was a misdemeanor. I am now 29yrs old. I want to better my life and my familes life so I enlisted with the navy. I ped all exams. Received a 79 on my ASVAB. Went to MEPS and ped everything with flying colors. Even qualified for the SEAL program. Background check came back and said that the misdemeanor was actually a felony. I requested and received my juvenile records and it says it B&E with intent to commit a felony. It also says I was ordered to do community service. Which means it was a misdemeanor, but my recruiter said it was a felony. I had never served any time in jail and never was on probation. My recruiter said I have to write a statement and I did. 2 days later he said it was rejected. This happen'd just on july 2nd. Is there any chance someone can overturn the decision? Or can I try again on the beginning of the new fiscal year? Is it even possible? I want to enter the Navy so bad to be a better provider for my family. In my heart, the Navy is me and I am the Navy. Someone, please give me some honest good news. And just for the record, I was tried as a juvenille, not an adult.
