It depends on what kind of map your on: combat (the map with the levels) you need to go to your popup menu Classic: comm hands them out, DONT BUG THE COMM FOR ANYTHING UNLESS YOUR TEAM HAS A LOT OF RES AND THE COMM ISNT SPENDING IT
Combat: Open the pop-up menu (default key : Right-mouse button) then go to the tab named Support (on the left side) then go in Equip (bottom of the new tabs) and there you will see the mines.
NS_: If there is a need, a commander will drop them for you in pack of 4, use them wisely because they cost your team resources. General rule, don't ask anything from commander unless you know what you are doing (except maybe asking for a RT when you are near an empty ressource node)
once you have the mines, in combat you get one mine per life. Place it in an extremely annoying place (good places are in dark corners, behind the CC, right on the exit to the hive, or in the hive itself (experienced players will know where the spawn points of all the aliens are, and place thier mines there)), get some lame XP, then die. Rinse and repeat. (Yes, I hate mines.) (Nearly as much as Grenade launchers, focus and devour.)
