OK this is my 2 cents.
Give yourself a general knowledge of these things.
Safety Safety Safety....
Sight picture - Learn what a correct sight alignment should be.
Trigger Pull - Smooth trigger pull - dont jerk it - squeeze....
Take your time - You dont have to be in a hurry right now... get familiar with how a gun works... when I was introduced to a Auto Pistol for the first time I was a little nervous because I didnt know exactly how it worked.. a revolver made sense... after all a cap gun with the rings does the same thing... or a starter pistol.
I work for a Federal Agency... I had some formal and informal training in the military and as a civilian. Whatever you learn outside of the Academy use it as a tool but leave your ego at home. Go into it as if you know nothing and let them put you through the basics. I was a good shot before the Academy but by going back to basics I became a better shot.. I shot perfect scores. I still think I have a lot to learn and constantly try to better myself.
Most of all right now have fun too. Dont be hard on yourself if you have a bad day and cant hit the side of a barn.
