Don't over think selection. All you have to do is show up and do the best you can moment by moment. I have seen some crazy train up programs posted on here that are complete overkill and a recipe for injury and overtraining. Make sure you can do 6-10 pull-ups minimum, run a 13:30ish or faster 2 mile, and score a 270+ on a strictly graded PT test. That is all you really need in my opinion.

Make sure you can ruck somewhere around a 13:00 pace without running. I got my pace down to 12:30 on easy terrain and I never had any trouble on the rucks. The guys that could only make a good time by running had a hard time because running with a ruck is a good way to get hurt and get sore joints. Some of the guys that smoked me on the first timed ruck were begging me to slow down on the transition rucks by the end of it, and I was just walking a comfortable pace.
