I see my friend cadet has been here to give you homework.
First thing I can think of is the three main things you must do here is #1 detach, #2 Patience, #3 Work on yourself. These are in no particular order of importance. Actually #3 should be the most important.
Your H is on a journey, and he is forcing you to take one too. At first you will fight the fact that you have to do it but as you step forward you will find that it is a necessary journey. On this trip the destination is not as important as the sights that you will see.
There are no tactics here. MLC is not for the weak willed. It is a marathon not a sprint. You must outwit, outplay and outlast you H MLC. In the process you must find YOU. That is the person that we are concerned with here. YOU!
Start reading, learning and posting. Ask lots of questions because the only bad one is the one you do not ask.
I am sure others will come and look in on you and give you some more advice. This is a great place to be. Enjoy.
