If the FC asked you to change autopilot settings to "shorter" or "prefer less secure", make sure you change it back to your preferred setting (normally "prefer safer").  
Often, the FC will debrief on Mumble after a fleet, reviewing what went well and what didn't. If things happened during the fleet which you didn't understand, feel welcome to ask for more details. If the fleet went well, you can discuss what worked. If the fleet went badly, resist the temptation to distribute blame, and restrain yourself from saying anything harsh if you feel yourself getting heated. In such situations it is sometimes best to take a break from comms and return to pick over what went wrong dispassionately later.

* If you have returned to high security space from lowsec, nullsec, or wormhole space, you might have a training clone which you want to hop back into after combat.
