I want to get good at shooting like really good. I only shot guns like a couple of times and held them. I can't get my gun permit yet so what would be the best way for me start working on my marksmanship or should i just wait till i'm at TBS ( I'm a USMC PLC Candidate) which would be in 2 years.
Whats the best way to start learning good marksmanship

You're going to learn marksmanship skills from scratch, based on the current standards your branch is teaching. In other words, you'll be taught how to shoot the Marine way, the Army way, etc. For now, you could just find a reputable former Marine offering instruction in your area, let'em know what your goals are, and take some classes.
If you can't/ won't do this...dry fire, dry fire, dry fire.

I wouldn’t worry about this unless it’s a hobby you wish to pursue. Even then, wait until you have disposable income to support being the shooting stud you hope to be.
In terms of being really good, you are better off being physical stud because it’s easier to teach someone to shoot than have the fortitude to stay in the best shape they can.
Finding a reputable instructor you could work with will save you time and money even though it will be costly if it’s a passion you must pursue. If you start that road they won’t necessarily teach you things your branch will test you on.
