Stop making excuses! (Eagle5US ‘elaborated’ on that quite extensively)
As to whether your decision to become a nurse would be an asset to the Team? No, not really, 18Ds are not combat nurses. You would still have many more hurdles to jump over in becoming an 18D and Q-Course graduate. Even if everything you hoped for happened (and you didn’t get inured again) you might still end up as an Enlisted something (91C) in big Army because you failed out of the Q-Course.
BTW: ‘Sartorial’ references a tailor or style of clothing, the “Sartorius” is a superficial muscle in the leg allowing you cross your legs or knees while sitting.
If you really want to be an SF 18D, join the regular Army in a combat arms MOS (Airborne/Ranger qualified 11B would be best) wait a year or longer and apply for SFAS with strength and determination as your guiding standards. Once you make it past SFAS then ask if 18D training is in store for you - you will possess some valuable skills but more importantly you will then appreciate the opportunity to learn.
