Default Squats in review

I'm basically done with this 3x5 program, I would just move to a 5x5 except for two issues:
First, my legs have really been getting overtrained lately. For as much as I like lifting more than cardio (a lot...), cardio has to take precedence, especially now.
Second, I'm going back to OCS in less than 5 weeks. That means 12 mile humps at 3-4mph with 55lb on my back. No doubt the strength I've built up over the year is going to help, but I'm wondering if there's a different program (a 3x8-15, for example?) that will better prepare me for that. Those smoked everyone last year.

The volume/overtraining part I need to figure out myself, as I'm the one who can listen to my body. I might move to squats 2x/week, because right now the cardio intensity needs to come up even more. However, if anyone more experienced than myself has any advice for a program that would be better suited towards running/humping, I'm open to suggestions.
