Don't judge the value of an individual or their opinion by what you perceive to be their intelligence or formal schooling.
Understand your position and what it entails. To my mind the best officers are soldier first officers. They routinely place the welfare of their soldiers ahead of their own or their own career. You have taken on a serious ####ing job, don't forget the lives of others will often be directly affected by what you do and the decisions you make.
Weak and poorly focused leadership results in nothing but bad, sadly I have witnessed many...I have also witness many excellent leaders: MWO Palmer, CWO Donovan are but 2 that jump to my mind.
That being said, enjoy yourself. As CC mentioned take the opportunity to go on taskings and deployments.
Also, hot sauce, pick a favourite and never be without it. Hot sauce fixes all food.
Make sure you are always keening aware of your current LCF.

This is how old I am, when I was in, every field ration pack had two cigarettes and a book of waterproof matches. The Cigarettes were almost like currency.
I didn't start smoking until after I left the Mililtary, but because of those Smokes, I would always be able to get extra cookies.
