I just submitted my packet for SNA-BDCP(2006), and I had 7 letters of recommendation. I had my old employer, one of my Comp Science professors, my golf coach(I'm on the University team), a retired Navy pilot, a retired Navy NFO, a school principal, and an active duty P-3 NFO. The school principal was just for a character witness and to say I wasn't a menace to the community :->, the others were for obvious reasons. My recruiter told me, the more the merrier, but don't get carried away with 10 or so. I think even my 7 was a lot, but whatever helps me get in right!? Anyways, I hope that helped...I'm kinda new to the forum still...Wish me luck in selections next month...
