The difference is not the rifle or the optic, but how those weapons are trained and judged under pressure.

Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a closer look at how Navy SEAL weapons training differs from conventional infantry.
"The two outages we experienced last year were painful for our guests, employees and financial results," he said. "It's not for a lack of investment. We were investing in IT.

Sugano signed a one-year, $13MM deal with Baltimore last offseason. He posted a 4.64 ERA across 30 outings. The righty got off to a solid start, putting up a 3.04 ERA through a dozen appearances, before falling off as the season went on.
