This folder has a tab for recording the name and social security number of the enlisted person for whom the folder is prepared. Both halves (sides) of an opened folder are equipped with fasteners for filing the service record pages and other official and unofficial papers. Service record pages and the information contained in these pages are a vital and permanent part of your enlisted service record. While on active duty, the contents of your record are used by the command to aid in determining your next billet assignment and to help make such admini- strative decisions as determining eligibility for advancement, qualification for training oppor- tunities, or eligibility for transfer to the Fleet Reserve or for retirement from the naval service. Even after you have been separated from the Navy, the contents of the service record remain important to you and your dependents because eligibility for veteran’s benefits is determined from information contained in the record. The contents of the service record are also important to your survivors if you die while on active service or after separation from the service. The left side of the folder contains official and unofficial papers that are required for record purposes or for safekeeping. These papers may include the original or a copy of standard transfer orders with copies of the endorsements and travel claims, discharges, statements of service, cor- respondence course completion letters, reports of examination (other than medical), service school certificates  and  diplomas,  and  reports  of separation from the military service.
