A couple of questions about SH4

Using TMO 2.5 and RSRD.

1. Is there a good tutorial out there on how to manage the crew? Forgive me, I feel dense. For the life of me I don't understand what the purpose of everything is. I understand they all have ratings but I'm confused about who to put where and when exactly do they go up in ranking. In SH3, it was more clear, you returned to base and you could promote and they would gain experience. In SH4, the patrols are very long and I don't want to keep running back to Pearl Harbor if I can refuel/rearm and go on my way. With the mods I'm running, there is mention of some special character that should never be touched. I don't understand these things lol. Also, moving them out of their spots to the guns, when I haven't told them to man the guns.. are they there or not?

2. The radio communications in SH4 seem really lame compared to SH3. Am I missing something? I don't see any time stamps on the messages so all I see is a list of messages but I can't put them into the context of the date/time they were sent. This was an important part of SH3 for me. I like to see how long ago I was sent a certain message to determine whether or not it is relevant. Sorry if this is just a rant, I want to make sure I'm not missing something somewhere.
