As for overloading your rookies, it does nothing but hurt them. Stats are handed out more or less randomly with the number of weapon hits skewing it to one end of the 5 point range or another. If you want to get the best stat gains, you should be doing major HE killing with the guys you want to train

The fastest way to increase stats is to use them. Want to get better at throwing things? Throw stuff. Want to get more hit points?(the correct answer is no) Survive getting injured. Want to improve firing accuracy? Shoot at aliens-- hitting them really spikes this. Want to get braver? Resist panic attacks (given how the aliens select panic victims, this is very rare, but I have seen it). Want to improve your reactions? Find a good firing position and wait for Mister Alien (for some aliens this is as difficult as getting more hit points and only troopers who are already fast get faster). Carrying heavy stuff improves strength.
At about forty strength, a trooper can carry a pistol clip, pistol, rocket launcher (loaded), and three other rockets without penalty (gotta check this).
