Marine Cpl. David L. Mattox is preparing himself mentally and physically for the possibility of war with Iraq.
The physical part has been easy — just some extra off-time workouts here and there.
"The things that we do in the infantry with the Marines, you need to be at a pretty good physical standpoint," the 24-year-old anti-tank specialist said during an exercise this past week at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows.
Getting his arms around the possibility of being in combat has been harder.
