Seeking bulking advice

Good morning lifters, my name is Codie and i am enlisted in the US Air Force. Which might explain a few things. Having to change my diet due to deploying as well as lifting habits, inconsistent gym times, etc.
currently I am deployed and at this point I’m pretty much told what to eat because of the lack of variety. So counting calories can be a bit more difficult then when I’m actually home and can go shopping at the grocery store for healthier options.
But recently I’ve decided I’m sick of being the skinny, 5’10” 165lb guy and want to bulk and gain more muscle mass. So after a few conversations with some SpecOps guys, personal trainer friends and lots of YouTube/internet searching. I’ve found a decent gym routine that fits me pretty well and keeping up with consuming well over my maintaining calorie intake. So currently I’m sitting around 3800-4000 calories/day.
Is their any tips you would give me while I continue this journey of bulking?
(Yes I will still do leg day)
