Definitely put the letters of rec in your package. My recruiter told me something similar and I got denied, applied with pretty much same package + two letters of rec and got accepted. Intel as well. No interview for me except for clearance.

There are some designators that will read the LOR's but often people get ones that are just trash, they ask a person and the person can't talk about how that person has performed over time or their leadership or anything of value.

Ideally it is from a person that has supervised you, which is more and more becoming an issue as more companies are starting to not allow their employees to do recommendations on current employees, too often it is viewed as an endorsement from the company so companies are just saying "no".

It also could be the group of candidates changed and your application was just viewed in a more positive light, nearly all of my IWC candidates were accepted without LOR's back when the selection percentage was very low, but they put effort into their motivational statements and had GPA's in the mid to high 3's.

Wondering if anyone can tell me what is being asked during RLP these days. Been studying Bravo but just wanted to know if there were any ones I should really focus on. Also do they even ask Watch Standing Principles?

All of Appendix B is fair game. I definitely got asked watchstanding principles.
