The Board denied service connection for various musculoskeletal disabilities, including the neck, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, and feet, as there was no evidence to support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active military service.

The deciding factor: The weight of the evidence did not support a finding that any of the claimed disabilities were related to the Veteran's period of active duty or Reserve Component service.
