First of all, get that ASVAB score up.  Go to a book store or get online and find an ASVAB study guide. 
 
I know nothing about you, so I don't know if you're just an idealistic kid who just dreams of being a "green beret" or if you're seriously capable of becoming a Special Forces operator.  First of all, I would recommend choosing infantry as your MOS, and making sure that airborne school is included in your enliustment contract.  Once you graduate from airborne school you will probably be assigned to an airborne unit, such as the 82nd ID.  From there you can decide whether or not Army life is for you, and whether or not you want to pursue a career in Special Forces. 
 
As far as physical training goes, I would recommend that you get in good shape before you go to basic training.  The Army will do the rest. 
 
Good luck.
