What are some things I can do to prepare myself for the Basic Air Borne Course? Before I submit a packet I want to be physically and mentally prepared. I know I’ll have to work on my run and upper body strength.

Run.
You see, in an actual Airborne Op, all you have is your legs once on the ground, so they emphasize running.
If you can't run, nothing else matters.
If you can run, you'll do fine.
Oh, lastly, when you jump keep your feet and knees together and your knees bent and NEVER reach for the ground -- that's how bones snap. It's better to land without snapping bones than to land snapping bones.
Bottom line: run. Rest takes care of itself.
