I just couldn't disagree more with the idea of building a basic knowledge and understanding of management from the military. There are some generalisable lessons to be learned from military management/leadership situations, and undoubtedly some that are transferable to tech, but there's also a vast and very approachable literature that draws on military and every other imaginable scenario to distill out lessons and principles. The rest of your advice is good, but please, just learn about the core subject first, rather than a niche and fairly radical lens on it.
