Even regulations that not many people know about but are still good to know and memorize?

Don't ever try to memorize a reg - first you won't be able to but also they change so often it is not really worth it. You should know the regs dealing with Uniforms (670-1), Drill (3-21.5), UCMJ, Counseling/Evaluation reports, Awards (600-8?), and Enlisted Promotions

I wouldn't know the entire reg. I would reccomend knowing what all the major regs are and just learning the regulation. If you know where to look, you can always Control F, what you are looking for. Knowledge is power, know where to look.

That you can fight an article 15. Only once did I ever fight it. A 1Sgt was punishing me for fighting back when he tried some pretty shity things. When he gave me the paper and said I could agree to what he said to do, or get punishment, I actually read the form and realized you could ask for higher up to judge it. So I went with that. Some people that was in the military were some really awful people. But, the ones who looked into what was happening, sided with me, he was demoted, and kicked out. Not all article 15’s are bad.

One thing to realize: You can't know every regulation, but you should be familiar with and know where to look. For starters, google APD (Army Publishing Directorate). You can find any and all Regs, Pubs, DA/DD Forms, etc., you can think of. To answer your question, though, here is a baseline on what to be familiar with (At your level, to name a few):

AR/DA Pam 670-1 (Wear and Appearance of the Uniform)
ADP 6-22 (Army Leadership)
ATP 6-22.1 (The Counseling Process)
AR 190-13 (THE ARMY PHYSICAL SECURITY PROGRAM)

Here is the link: https://armypubs.army.mil/default.aspx

Another good thing to get familiar with is the MDMP (Military Decision Making Process); How to read and understand OPORDs (Operational Orders).

And, I must compliment you on asking such a question. Us Old Timers rarely get an experience where a young Soldier, such as yourself, ask these types of questions.
