Anothe guest, that IS a problem for me, as I NEVER keep more than 10 fighting troops in any base, and 2 of them end up as perennial rookies while the other 8 go on missions and gain experience. If my base is attacked while the troops are out.... ouch....

Save often and before you sent your troops. If there is attack before they are back (how unlikely is that), reload from save point and send fewer soldiers.
Also, at the time you lend at UFO, first save, and then progress. Do not allow them to shoot your people. Use tactics described before with 2 soldiers, One advancing and discovering the alien, and other one (or two) shooting it, and then exchange the soldiers, so that other ones can gain better characteristics. (aliens are using similar strategy)
Any base should consist of more then 2 stores. Sell stuff you don’t need as soon as you got it at base.
Laser weapons are great as they don’t require any ammunition. Use it as much as you can.
