I think you are a little ahead of yourself. Learn the Platoon and Company. Broadening starts there, on a firm technical tactical base to build on. The biggest thing you can do is have a good professional reading regime for your self. Have a variety. Perhaps identify a field grade that has similar interests to have deliberate conversations with about these books and topics over a beer or cup of coffee.

Go outside the box... Computing to Neuro-psychology to Artificial Inteligence to Data Mining... meanwhile, history, political science, statistics, chemistry ... the limit lies within you... go until you find it.

I look for ways to improve on skills I already have. For example, I blog. That led me to learn more about HTML/CSS/web design, social media management, graphic design, and effective communication.
I've done similar with music and open source software.
What do you do and recommend?

I like this! On our platform OweYaa.com we have placed many into online internships to do in their free time to do things just like this. Does an 11b necessarily need to know how to code? No but the process of learning to code increases their critical thinking and problem solving skills that can make him more effective in the fight. With that kind of personal ambition and self learning ability I have to imagine you are a pretty well round and intelligent solider/guy! Thanks for the response!
