In addition to all of the other advice here, I would like to put emphasis on two things that I found were my weakest points.

1) Have a lot of forearm strength! I killed the PT test and all of the rucks but I was the second weakest on my team when it came to carrying water cans. Fortunately, there was always someone else who dropped the cans before I was about to so I never stood out for it, but I was mighty close to being "that guy" for not having much forearm strength. (The guy that kept dropping them got peered)

2) Learn how to tie knots before going. If you can tie a good knot, you can shine when apparatus construction begins even if your not leading the team when it comes to putting forth ideas. I sucked at knots so I was mostly a "grey-man" during construction and planning which didn't look good on my part.
