IIRC, the prep course has a maintenance explanation and plan at the end.
Get yourself into shape to ruck and run and try to maintain it through Basic, AIT, and Airborne schools. If you are able to perform consistently at the level of the last week of the prep when you arrive at SFAS, you should not fail for physical reasons, unless you get injured. If you do not have the proper mental and emotional attributes as well as dedication and attitude, no amount of physical conditioning will help you get through. I have seen a lot of studs non-selected.
As far as a lack of equipment or facilities, the people we are looking for find a way and are usually very good at making do and getting the job done with few, if any resources or assistance from others.
Scimitar:
I would leave speculation about the obstacle course to people who have actually been on it. Rope climbing is a technique event and should primarily use the legs.
