HAHA - I so know what you mean. I played tourney ball for 3 years of college (studying what???)
I would recommend AGAINST it...try to break the habit if at all possible. With a marker, you keep your wrist bent, hands and arms tucked in tight, almost like a ball. In combat shooting, where your life is on the line, proper form is more of a squared off fighting stance, arms fully extended, weight on the balls of your feet. This will also help brace and support the weapon and recoil for quicker follow up shots.
With markers there isn't any recoil, and no advantage to squaring off. It also gives you a more rifle like aim (though once you're good at snap shooting with a pb marker, it will feel like an extension of your arm).
google-fu:

It is also shown that under combat stress, regardless of training people will default to some form of combat fighting stance, with the body squared off to a degree, and your dominant foot slightly back.
Aside - where did you use to play?
