Because the Army may not think you are suited for the 18D course, the Army may need you in another MOS track, or because you may fail to accomplish your mission of becoming an 18D and you need another day job in SF (or go to a non-SF assignment).

You have done very little toward becoming an SF soldier thus far. Focus on your 25 meter target of completing your Basic, AIT, Airborne, SOPC I, SFAS, SOPC II, PLDC, and Phase II before you begin worrying about your 18D training.
