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?

Scimitar is right on. You have to decide if the 18X is what you want and now is when you want it. Extra training is always helpful and having 11B and or Ranger Bn experience never hurts as long as you do not let them Brainwash you.
Bottom line is you have to decide how much you want it and when. Things change and you could change also. Recruiters are there to get bodies in the military and keep higher off their back.
Good luck...
