possible pulhes 18x dq

Hello,
I would like to thank ahead of time for any responses or efforts put forth by anyone who answers to this thread. First off as the sticky asked to state my medical background which is none at all, i am a junior in high school and have had the desire to be an 18bravo weapons sergeant for as long as i remember. I had heard of the PULHES rating system for the military before and while reading "18d but confused" in this forum the asker posted an MOS pdf which stated each MOS required PULHES score. The required score is 111221 . Now heres my question when i was in the womb i had a stroke which left me with minor cerlby paulsy which only effected my right arm. Fortunatly but unfortunatly it only effected me and not my two brothers also in the womb . As fate would have it i am the only one who wishes to join the army which subsequently checks for such things. The effect of the stroke was not as strong a sensation in my right arm which no one could tell me but it alllows me to take alot of pain which is a good thing (a partially torn bicep from skiing and a hockey stick to my arm that broke it from a fight with my brother when i was younger ) . The downside to it was i can not touch my right thumb to my right pinkie finger and thats it , everything else is good to go. As maturity goes i have started to do therapy to my hand to improve the pinkies functionability because being an 18bravo is my life goal i figured why leave it up to chance. So i would like you profesionals to weight in and tell me if it is a futile atempt at an 18x contract or i should just sign with a conventional unit and apply when the opurtunity arises. Plus i have read storys about active duty marines,army soldiers and even rangers including special forces lose extremitys and continue to serve Active Duty. I know i can excel if given the opurtunity at my life goal but i would unconditionaly appreciate any input you profesionals are willing to give.
