Hi, whenever a person suffers from tuberculosis and he has taken all the treatment, calcific foci appears in the lungs which were earlier infected. This is a normal thing and doesn't indicate infection. I think army people has some very strict criteria and that's why they have declared you unfit for army. However, in my opinion, you are healthy and like any other person you can do all the things.
I hope this has helped you. Take care.
