Not some rambo want to be.
Police activities leagues, NRA clubs just to name a couple of organizations.
that way you will taught the right basics, and be able to know what you are doing before going out and making the wrong purchase or learn the wrong methods. Target shooters are always willing to help beginners.

I'll start looking for some. Are there any obvious signs as to which may be respectable clubs and which may not be? I'm very sincere about learning, primarily because of my thoughts of joining the Marine Corps. I need to be sure I'm comfortable shooting a gun before I make this commitment, especially when it comes to rifles. My desired MOS is going to be a sniper for a Force Recon unit but I don't want to later find out that I'm just not cut out for it.
I'll check out the NRA's website for information; for some odd reason that never occured to me and it seems to be the most obvious place for me to go first.
On another note, while Avizpls is correct I think I'll still take Bob F's advice into consideration...
