Agree.
I will tell you now, out of the 1000+ military aviation officers I know, I do not know one who "made it thru" without using gouge, dirty purples, etc.
Heck, there was a website at one point where a guy was profiting off of gouge (ALLPME.com). In addition, I'd be inclined to know just how many of today's "leaders" didn't use some sort of gouge at one point or another.
I'm not advocating "cheating" by any measure -- but, what I think in actuality was these guys were doing a historically "turn my back" gouge sharing and it came to light when a cell phone was confiscated.
