My friend said he joined his wrestling team at school cause it would help prepare him for the type of fighting they learn at boot camp beside getting him into shape, is this true ?
 
By boot camp I assume you mean Marines? Army is basic training.

Anyway, Army Combatives is largely based on Jiu-Jitsu, and also incorporates Judo throws. Wrestling is well known as being an advantage when you learn Jiu-Jitsu because you understand base (control opponent).

Honestly, any sport will help, not just wrestling. Choose what you like and go with it. Passing a PT test is based on push ups,, sit ups, and running. Most important is running. So any sport that is active will help you.
