Are there any recommended books/audiobooks or courses I should take besides the ones on AKO? Or any unique lessons or experiences That could help? I am about to max out on points for ako. I’m prior active and in total only have 3 years in service. But I’m hungry to start being better and a greater influence on those around me, how do I gain the knowledge and tools to do so?

Every AR, FM, and TM you use, or which are on any promotion board list, or SAMC list. In other words, be an SME in all things Army from Admin to Promotions, to UCMJ.
That is a decent start.

That's a solid list of books and other materials. It's a lot, but better to answer with more details like you did.

Thank you for helping a solid troop get on the right track with what will work!

Listen and trust your leaders and peers with experience. Seek mentorship, even if not willing given.

It's a fine line between being a teacher to make them proficient and being an asshole to make them hard. Can't be too much of one or the other. Best of luck to you Private. Already asking these questions will make you a good leader. Gods speed soldier.

It's reassuring to read such encouraging words from a soldier to a soldier.

*Snappy Salute* to you, Brother.
