I figure it might be beneficial to give 6 letters of rec. for maximum results and endorsements, however maybe perhaps it might backfire and may not look good maxing out the letters of rec. Any thoughts on this would help. Thanks in advance!

I threw in one extra for my WOCS application, worked out well (from a MG). I believe when it comes to extra LORs that it is more of the quality and "who" wrote them, rather than how many you have. 3 extra LORs from teachers, CPTs, etc... they better write really well, an extra from a General/CW5/Congressperson, etc.. that'd make a statement.

As long as you have at minimum 3 letters of recommendation you will be fine. What makes you competitive isn’t so much the letters but everything else. The APFT, your ASVAB, college are some but the biggest one is just you. When you are sitting in front of the board be confident because how you portray yourself will carry more weight than anything in your packet.

sorry for the late reply, and yes absolutely agree with you. I am currently working in recruitment industry so the need for a strong interview is a must. To further give better candidacy for OCS I want to improve my packet in an effort that would stand out from the rest.
