Snap,
I'm not sure when you're shipping out but the best thing I could recommend is just start PT'ing your ass off.I'm sure you probably played sports in HS, well I hope you did anyways, and you think you're in good enough shape but you're not. I'm not a BTDT so I haven't gone through it but I've done enough research to know its going to be BY FAR the hardest thing you've ever done in your life.
You should also start reading up on what you "got yourself into" since it was probably something you should have done before you signed up. I'd pick up a few books on SF, in particular I'd go with Special Forces by Tom Clancy, which is a good broad overview, and Masters of Chaos by Linda Robinson which is also a good overview.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me instead of wasting the BTDT's time where as I'm in college and have plenty of time on my hands when I'm not at the gym or in class.
