Happy Thanksgiving y'all. I haven't seriously shot in a couple years now (having babies and going to school tends to take a lot of time) but I used to a lot. I didn't realize until about a year ago that I am left eye dominant, but right handed. My goal through BCT and AIT is to be the best version of myself. Will it be enough to trust that the DS will teach me adequately? Is there anything I can do now to help myself? I've been dodging invitations to go shooting just so I don't reiterate any bad habits I, but I'm still concerned. Help, please!

SPC (Join to see) its possible. Many shooters close one eye when they shoot. Find a local rifle range and shoot daily. Make sure the weapon has been sighted properly

It is entirely possible. It is more difficult, but some things in life are. Adapt, improvise, overcome.

It WILL be helpful, though, having already identified a problem, that you communicate this to your Drill as soon as it is relevant. It is actually more common than you think, and your DS should be able to appropriately give guidance regardless of the cross dominance.
