I think prep with the CBT really helps. Once I got the idea of the gouge I made myself flash cards with post it notes and hung them on a computer monitor to practice the general skills required and flex the memory muscle. Having association tricks to help memorize random things really helped.
I know a lot of fighter guys that "blow it." JK.
Nothing trumps preparation and attitude. I came in so wired with flash cards, etc, that I felt totally prepared. Some guys think their resume will carry the day. That's blowing it.
