Before shipping off to Marine Corps basic training should I not train the last few days before I go?

If you have been exercising regularly up to that point.......Stop the last TWO days prior to departure. Your body will regenerate as much as it can in that time, anything else you will go backwards in training. Sleep as much as possible and stretch your muscles well.

The first week of bootcamp you won't be doing any physical training. You will be doing alot of standing around and going to the doctors/dentists/getting vaccines. After the first week you do the Initial strength test (1.5 mile run/pull-ups/sit-ups) If you are in shape now, I would just take it easy the last few days and have some fun. :)

PS try and get yourself doing 20 pull-ups. Those are the big money makers on the fitness test.

If you are in good shape you will do fine. If you are out of shape you will suffer.

Yes, you should stop about 5 days prior to let your body rest. And try to get rest and stop eating and drinking crap foods.

You can do as you please, but it is best if you stop that final week.

Keep on training until the day before you ship out!
especially jelking -off, You won't have any time or you will be too exhausted to "pleasure" yourself while in Boot Camp!

Do NOT wait until the "last few days". Start preparing NOW! The sooner you start, the easier it will be to complete.

The source links that I posted below will help with physical and mental preparations.

About four weeks before you report in, start waking up at 6am everyday and going to bed by 10pm. Then about one or two weeks before you report in, start waking up at 5am everyday while still going to bed at 10pm. This simple trick will help immensely.

im not a marine but i am in JROTC and i think yea you should train the last few days but lightly dont push it so much the last few days =)

They say that you should train atleast 8 weeks in advance... to glide through basic training easily, or atleast that's what i was told through the air force... if you talk to your recruiter tho, i think it's like.. every two weeks they have a get together, and train at the recruiting station, they show you drill moves, you go running... and some academic questions... or atleast they do down here in el paso... i dont know if they would do it where you are... might want to check into that tho =) it'd be a great way to start.
