Hang in there! I think you're close.
What about volunteerism?
I've heard that reference letters don't come into play until the DB.

I've only heard June 9th, however the 5th would be great because this wait is killing me!

Has there been any good signs during your wait? Pee in a cup? Refs contacted?

Can the references be the same people who write letters of recommendation? Are they one in the same?

Yes they can. One person called was a LOR and the other was the Chief Pilot.
