This shouldn't keep you out from military.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Your findings suggests minimal to mild mitral regurgitation,mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonary insufficiency.Regurgitation is due to incomplete closure of valves during contraction.
This is often a asymptomatic condition and patient usually doesn't require any treatment.
You also doesn't have any symptoms and it shouldn't be the criteria for exclusion from military.
Ejection fraction is very important and it is normal.
There are many changes in heart in advance valvular regurgitation which are not present in your case.Besides mild regurgitation,other findings are normal.

Mild valvular regurgitation can be seen after exercise so it is important to know whether your ECHO is done after exercise.
