The veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions have been denied. The Board found no evidence of in-service trauma or aggravation, and the preponderance of the evidence did not support a finding that any condition was aggravated by service.

The deciding factor: The veteran's claims were based on his active duty service records, which showed no indication of in-service trauma or aggravation for the conditions claimed. The Board found insufficient evidence to establish an aggravation during service and concluded that the current disabilities are not related to service.
