The Marine Times:
Marine snipers take top prize, againOh wait, it's a different Andrew Sullivan, kind of a more real Sullivan, a useful Sullivan, one who's no Trig-obsessed Sullivan, one who's no lingering disappointment to his pops, Sullivan.

Sgts. Daniel Gilland and Jose Lucero beat 14 other teams in the second annual Inter-Service Sniper Sustainment Exercise at Fort Chaffee,grabbing a first-place finish at the competition sponsored by the National Guard Marksmanship Training Center’s Sniper School.
The sergeants, both instructors at School of Infantry-West at Camp Pendleton, Calif., finished ahead of the same Army Special Forces team that came second to another two-man Marine sniper team from SOI-West at the International Sniper Competition at Fort Benning, Ga., in October.
Gunnery Sgt. Andrew Sullivan, Scout Sniper Basic Course chief instructor at SOI-West, coached both winning teams and beamed with pride.
“There were some damn good shooters at the competition. It was a fight every day,” Sullivan said. “You had no idea who was ahead; you had no idea about points until the banquet.”
Congratulations and all respect to Gunnery Sgt. Andrew Sullivan. We honor your service to our nation.
