First up then, get yourself on a cross trainer with a heart monitor, after a 5min warm up, start marching until you reach 85% of your max heartrate (there will be a chart on the machine). Then maintain that rate for 30mins, note the distance travelled, and take a 5min cool down at the end. That'll let you calculate the distance you can go for an hour in your current state.
Ideally you need to be building your stamina 3 times a week, either at the gym, or by running on soft turf. If you overdo it, you'll just go back to square one.
You're young, don't sound too overweight, so should be starting out at 5km, rising up to 10km slowly over the next 5 months.
This will prep you for the joys of PT.
Food wise, again, you're young, your metabolism is high, so I wouldn;t worry too much. Cottage cheese is very good for muscles, swap out a meat course for a serving of that every other day. Also eat fruit.
No more than 500 calories per meal for here on in, and eat four times a day, this will also get you prepped for the piss poor canteens you'll be enjoying as a squadie.
