Sergeant Matt Maupin

Sergeant Matt Maupin is still missing (since April 9th, 2004) and believed to be held captive in Iraq.  This photo of Matt is from April 1st, 2004.

Sergeant Maupin's family recently donated 90 computers to open the Sgt. Matt Maupin Computer Center on September 19th in order to improve morale amongst the troops.  I'm amazed that they are as concerned for the troops as much as they are searching for Matt.

  • Uber Pig
    AuthorLogo-pig.jpg
    Uber Pig was an Infantryman from late 1991 until early 1996, serving with Second Ranger Battalion, I Corps, and then 25th Infantry Division. At the time, the Army discriminated against enlisted soldiers who wanted use the "Green to Gold" program to become officers, so he left to attend Stanford University. There, he became expert in detecting, avoiding, and surviving L-shaped ambushes, before dropping out to be as entrepreneurial as he could be. He is now the founder of a software startup serving the insurance and construction industries, and splits time between Lake Tahoe, Boonville, and San Francisco, CA.

    Uber Pig writes for Blackfive a) because he's the proud brother of an enlisted Civil Affairs Reservist who currently serves in Iraq, b) because he looks unkindly on people who make it harder for the military in general, and for his brother in particular, to succeed at their missions and come home in victory, and c) because the Blackfive readers and commenters help keep him sane.
