getting in shape for SFOP is not that difficult.. do some Crossfit or Military Athlete workouts a couple times a week and put in your dues with hours humping a ruck just like evryone else has done. There is no exact science to preparing yourself.

As far as land nav goes.. find a topo map of your area, throw a ruck on and simply go out and terrain associate yourself from point A to B. You don't need to train on a designated land nav course with pre-positioned surveyed points. Pick a spot on the map and navigate to it.. when you think you are in the right spot check your position with a GPS - but do not use the GPS as a guide.

If you need more help than these pretty easy suggestions you may not be quite what we are looking for.

Best of luck
