Finding a trainer is a great idea that you should definitely pursue (a few hours with TC improved my game more than I could have imagined), but if you have trouble getting in touch with them, falling back on some of your squaddies wouldn't be a bad idea either.
You're in the 71st, right? Drag Batfink or Snaphook into the TA with you sometime. Both are renowned for helping others, and each are good Corsair sticks as well.
Also - random question - but by "English Time," do you mean London?
