ORD-ed a while back, BMT feels huge before but it's very survivable. Physical prep matters most, start NOW: 1) build running base, aim to jog 2.4km comfortably, that's the IPPT distance and it makes everything easier, 2) do push-ups and sit-ups daily, even 3 sets, your body adapts fast, 3) walk/hike with a light bag to condition for load. If you're really unfit you might be posted to the longer BMT (extra weeks) which is honestly a blessing, they ease you in. Mental prep: 1) accept you'll be tired and it's temporary, everyone's in the same boat and you make solid friends, 2) learn basic admin, ironing, polishing boots, folding, watch a few videos. Bring the right small stuff (foot powder, good socks, blister plasters). It's a mental game more than physical. You'll be fine, thousands do it every year. Verify current IPPT/BMT specifics via official NS channels.
