سبيل فهم الأمور
Explanation:
In the context of a sentence, "the hang of it" means التمكن من الشيء or فهم عمل شيءٍ ما, but since it's a title of the story, obviously that won't work here. The story is about a soldier trying to get the hang of things, which is why I thought my suggestion would be suitable.
