Then hit preview to put yourself in the game. You should now be a rifleman with an ammo crate with weapons to test out. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with movement controls and how your weapon shoots in different stances. Configure your controls to your liking, that sort of thing.

And remember, the editor is probably the best place to go to test things out, such as flying helicopters.

As for playing on the server, usually you join the server and see a bunch of 'slots'. If you can, try to pick one of the slots that says 'rifleman' or something along those lines until you're more comfortable with things like the grenade launchers, SMAW, M249, etc. Also, follow the admin's orders, and your squad leader's orders and you should do fine.

Finally, a mod I'd recommend that isn't in the mod pack is Pistolfied's tracers. By default rifle tracers are disabled for some reason, but enabling them will help you see where exactly your bullets are going (and help you with your marksmanship)

Thats a good tip I do that too
