The Board denied service connection for residuals of a back injury, head injury, and neck injury as the evidence did not support that these injuries occurred during or while traveling from active duty.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not demonstrate that the Veteran was on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty for training on May 9, 1990, the date of his accident.
