The Board granted service connection for multiple disabilities, including right and left hip, elbow, ankle, knee, wrist, and lower back conditions, based on the Veteran's in-service trauma.

The deciding factor: Service connection was granted as it was at least as likely as not that each of these disabilities were related to the Veteran's active duty service due to acute and repetitive traumas experienced during training and physical tasks.
