They may not be allowing Med Waivers for 18X contracts, those stitches may require a med waiver; not sure about this though.
The recruiter’s agenda is to get you in; they figure that if you wait for the stitches to heal up, you may not come back at all. This is common, many enlist as an emotional decision and if they are given time to wait, they or someone else talks them out of it; so they try to prep you for another MOS.
Who cares about the why, the reality is is that there are plenty of 18X contracts period; that I am sure of.
Call their bluff man. It may just have to wait for those stitches to get out. To save you time I'd advise your recruiter that you are taking nothing but 18X otherwise you're not enlisting. If in fact he has to wait for those stitches to come out then they won’t send you till they are.
Questions?
