So I just went through osut graduated in June of last year. I'd say the best things you can do is run and ruck. Don't be an idiot An go out an buy a ruck just use a backpack and put some weight in it, work your way up in weight. Learn land nav like the basics, you can learn online like terrain features. Do both long distance running and sprints. And lift weights along with push ups and sit ups. My entire company got worse on PT tests from start to finish because your body gets so warn down, so the better you are getting there you better you are. Also a warning 30thAG reception is hell. It's close to 2 weeks long and it sucks the life out of you but just keep your head down and get to basic. If you want it there is nothing holding you back but you. So just fucking send it! Feel free to ask me anything man!

Start running now as much as you can. And just realize that it's going to be a culture shock at first, but you're being indoctrinated in a brotherhood that is like no other. Plus the usual advice of just keep your mouth shut, but your eyes and ears open. Your Drill Sergeants are going to teach the right way and listening to them is vital to your success.
