Sometimes the easiest way to help all the way around is to run a Logistic Drop Suit, aka Logi Bro, regardless of what you spec in as.
Use a Militia Logistics Drop Suit @ 725 ISK each and run the Militia Injector and Militia Armor Repair Tool. Pick an Light Weapon, Militia Grenade and then something to fill the rest of the slots as you like.
I usually have one Fit with Armor Repair for when there are few Logi Bro running. Keeps my clone function enough to get some SP. Follow a Heavy/HMG around if you see one alone.
My non-Armor Repair Fit has Stamina and sometimes a Hacker module.
Then shield mods in the high slots. Start savings clones.
Join a Squad, with friends if possible.
Do not run Ambush maps. Learn how to do the serious work. Skirmish, hack objectives and keep the clone count high.
Use an Assault Rifle that has 60 rounds in the clip. Better than 48.
Get a mic. Cheap BT one at the least. Warn about Red ambushes, Snipers, Tanks (HAVs).
Do not jump into a HAV unless you are committed to doing the job right. The mic will help, unless you jump into a HAV driven by a noob that knows less than you and doesn't even have a mic. Had one stolen and the dufus only got 25 WP with it.
Other quick suggestions: Make a Scout fit with a Stamina module. At the start of short maps run to the objectives and hack away. Pay attention because you will die quickly. Just try to hack a couple of objectives first and some other neutral Installation if the Reds are in the way. Some Red Berry shows up on the mini map, shoot like a frightened Kitten and run away. Not in a straight line, but towards cover.
Get a LAV and drive like a bunny to the uncontested end of the map. Hack something, run away and hack something else. This will cause the Reds to respond which can free up some of your Blues.
If you decide to Snipe be aware that many Mercs will come hunting these days. My primary character (this one) is a Sniper/Logi Bro. I also do anything that needs doing, Forge Gun, HAV Gunner, Hacking with 2 Hacker Modules and defending a position.
Sooner or later you will need to learn how to issue Squad Leader commands (look in Training Ground Forum) and assign defend to someone or something. Gives 20% boost for Squad members earning SP within some distance of the target. Squad Leader is assigned randomly. Check if you are one before deployment if you get the chance. Don't fret about it. There are too many things to learn right now anyway.
Lurk on the Training Grounds as there are many posts to help you better than this quick (but too long) blurb.
Have fun.
