Welcome to the forums Hector. I am from the DC area.
I am really hoping to get in this time around. Some changes I made to my package include.
LOR from VP of my company
LOR from Sr Director
LOR from my manager
I also interviewed with a 2 star Admiral (who also wrote a note to the board), 2 Captains, and 1 LCDR (all in the IW community) and receieved outstanding recommendations.
Added a few more IT Certifications (MCITP, MCTS, RHCSA - Already hold MCP, MCSA)
Volunteered as the IT Director for a local hockey organization I play hockey at.
In addition, I worked for the goverenment for a number of years. I was a prior service IT2 in the Navy for 5 years, and I have a lot of experience in the IT realm, both as an engineer and as a leader.
If I am not selected, I will wait until next March and re-apply. The only thing I can do to make my package if that becomes the case is to start on my masters degree. I believe this is the only thing holding me back.
