The Board denied service connection for multiple conditions, including right hip disorder, genitourinary disorders, loss of sense of smell, and others, finding no evidence linking these conditions to the Veteran's military service or toxic exposure at Camp Lejeune.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that any current condition was present in service or otherwise related to service, including recognized TERA or gonorrhea, or was related to a service-connected disability.
