What do you need training for?

Ever tried to read the manual?

i2Cold, read the manual so you get the basics, then join a coop server so you figure out how the game mechanics are - specially deviation.
Now, after you've read the manual and played a little bit of coop, join a multiplayer server (a populated one!), join a squad and say you are new, ask questions and whatnot. Most people are helpful.
If you wanna know something, whan I started playing, I read the manual and joined a multiplayer server and learned as I went, asking fellow squad members how to do something and whatnot. Just make sure you let them know you are new, aight?
Good luck, man! Nothing replaces hands-on experience on a multiplayer server! Just make sure you don't jump in the dark, alright? Read the manual, let people in your squad know you are new, and you'll be fine.

BTW, when you join a multiplayer match dont go driving choppers or jets or you'll find yourself banned for asset stealing and wasting

Hey again. As you could probably tell from the replies, you're leaving a somewhat annoying impression. You're creating a lot of threads in a short amount of time, asking questions that most people managed to answer for themselves. That's why many responses are so... unwelcoming towards you.
The PR community is relatively mature, but that also means that it's a bit harder for a younger player to get along with the people here. In one of your many threads, I posted a one hour video that covers pretty much everything you need to know. If you watch that, then read the manual, then get mumble set up, and then join a co-op server to practice with the weapons you wish to learn more about, you're ready to join an online server. The trainer will probably also contact you relatively shortly, make sure to edit your post in that thread to include your xfire details so they know how to contact you.
Please, don't make a thread for every question you have, that gets people upset quite quickly. Stick to your first thread with any further questions you have. Most new players that do bother to ask for help at the forums (good first step!) quickly find all the help they need and all their questions answered, as long as they don't leave a negative impression. We're a small community, and your name stands out already. You can quickly earn yourself a reputation, so let it be a good one. Right now many won't even bother reading your new threads, because they don't expect to read much useful.
In direct response to your request, I can again offer you this until you can get an actual training session:
It takes an hour, but includes everything you need to know to fulfil the role of a basic infantryman. A proper training session can get more in-depth, but you'll have to wait until a trainer has time for you. This community is very helpful, you'll rarely find such training programs in any other game, but we also expect a certain degree of maturity from your part.
Wait for a trainer to contact you, make sure your xfire details are visible in the training thread, and please, stop creating new threads, they'll only get locked and then people can't respond to you even if they have something helpful to say. Stick to your first thread, or if that one is locked, one of the ones that aren't, and make them your personal thread for asking questions. Noone has a problem with that. What we are annoyed by is one user creating half a dozen threads in a few days.
In case I didn't already say it, welcome to the forums and the community. Please try to adapt to the way and pace things are being done here, we cannot adapt the entire forum to the personal preferences every newcomer. I hope you'll get all the information you need. Make sure to read the manual, that covers pretty much everything, and use the search button up in these forums to find threads that might include further information. Some initiative will result in everything you need.

he isnt in the group, no group join no training, makes stuff complicated otherwise and hard to keep track of people
BTW check your PM, and the training is a community drive and isnt affiliated with the PR Dev team in anyway

Nice vid, Spec. Now we somehow need to get all the newbies to see this.
The part where you equipped medic CPR hands said "These are bear hands" made me smile.
