Default Military "Training Failures"

I know with Delta this has been a hot subject. I am filling out applications for multiple airlines and just trying to sort through all this to make sure I'm honest but not selling myself short. To caveat all this, I've never busted a Form 8 check ride. I've gone through multiple upgrades: MQT, FLUG, MCUG, IPUG, UIP, WIC, WIC IPUG. During WIC and IPUG I busted rides; at WIC, you'll pretty much bust every ride at least once, and probably a couple times depending on timeline. I don't have documentation anymore of which ones I "got to see again." What's the best way to answer the training failure question. These busts are for tactical execution (mostly BFM), and chalk debrief type things, not for being unable to fly an instrument approach or anything like that.

I've passed and done well in every upgrade I've been in, and probably have an average or slightly less busts in my life for a guy who is a WIC IP in my community. I feel like if I list every bust I've ever had it's going to look like a trend of training failures. In my community at least, busting these types of rides is the norm. Just looking for some advice.
