Thoughts on good additions to my infant portfolio

Howdy, I'm starting to get back into trading after a hiatus a few years ago. I'm not much of a seller, and I tend to pick relatively stable options that don't have a ton of mobility, as I use my account as a form of savings account. I have a separate growth/ fun account where I take the riskier plays. So far, this is what my portfolio looks like:

$3,700 total

LMT – 2.25 Shares – 30% of portfolio - $1084 MV - $474 PPS

AXON – 3 Shares – 19% of portfolio - $665 MV - $217 PPS

RTX – 4 Shares – 11.6% of portfolio - $409 MV - $98 PPS

AAPL – 2 Shares – 9.3% of portfolio - $328 MV - $156 PPS

BAESY – 5 Shares – 7.33% of portfolio - $258 MV - $49 PPS

NOC – 0.5 Shares – 7.22% of portfolio - $254 MV - $470 PPS

BWXT – 3.6 Shares – 6.5% of portfolio - $229 MV - $62 PPS

BAH – 2 Shares – 5.5% of portfolio - $194 MV - $99 PPS

RNMBY – 1 Share – 1.7% of portfolio - $60 MV - $58 PPS

BA – 0.20 Shares - 1.0 % of portfolio - $40 MV - $212 PPS

As you can see, I'm fairly heavily invested in the defense/ aerospace sector as I feel that Uncle Sam is constantly pumping tax dollars into companies like Raytheon, NG, Lockheed, etc and they also supply foreign military with equipment sales. They stay relatively stable for me, and dont tend to have massive swings, but I'd like to branch out a little bit into other sectors/ fields.

Do any of y'all have recommendations? I put in between $600-800 every two weeks when I get my paycheck, and my next immediate move is to get all my partial shares up to whole numbers and then I'll start picking up others.
