Very nice plan. I understand that you really want to be SF. Many people do.
Reality is you are more likely to become an infantryman than SF, even if you could get an SF contract. Attrition includes even people who see themselves as SF material.
This board is covered with stories from guys who thought they were a shoe in for SF. Most of them are now infantrymen on a 5 or 6 year tour.
One misstep, literally or figuratively, and you are out of the program, humping a ruck as a rifleman.
Just my .02, YMMV. Best of luck.
