4. From a review of the medical record together with the present findings it has been concluded that Lt. Hubbard has an active chronic duodenal ulcer, a mild to moderate conjunctivitis of an allergic type, minimal to moderate osteo-arthritic changes of the dorsal and lumbar spine; and a chronic bursitis of the right shoulder with calcium deposits in or near the tendinous insertion of the supraspinatus muscle. It is considered most likely that these conditions arose while this officer was serving in an active duty status and it is believed that he is unfit for any duty at the present time but that these defects are not necessarily permanent.
