That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that:

a.	The invalid Annex “A” to his DD Form 4 (which was not signed by the Classifier, thereby invalidating the guarantees listed), is replaced with a signed copy that entitles Petitioner to the following guarantees: NF (open) school guarantee; Enlistment Bonus Source Rate $10,000; and Enlistment Bonus College Credit $3,000.

c.	A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner’s naval record.
