Nothing, you'll learn everything there. Just make sure you bring coveralls, ACH, gloves(leather),and steel toes.

Make sure you carry your coveralls, very fun course, a lot of math.

Mud, grease, cold fingers. Bring spare boots, coveralls, uniforms so you can wash at night and have other, clean sets for the morning of. Ensure you buy a newspaper everyday to stuff in your wet boots to wick out moisture over the following day.

You'll be righting rolled vehicles and extracting mired vehicles. Bring a cheap hand calculator so you can do the calculations for snatch blocks and pulleys. I say cheap because it may get wet by accident.

Nothing just take the class and learn all you can (Sorry for stating the obvious).

I didn't do anything to perpare didn't even receive a packing list recieved a phone call was told to bring all my BDU'S both pair combat boots and other things. When I attended H8 school at Fort Jackson we trained on the M978A1 14 ton HEMITT Wreaker. there were a lot of math in the course if they training the same way when I attended you can expect to ge dirty and get deep in the mud.
