(5) (In the case of a member of the Regular Army, or of any other member
ordered to active duty for more than 30 days--except those ordered to active duty for
training) whether the disability, or aggravation of the disability was incurred while the
member was entitled to basic pay; (if the member has less than 8 years of service),
whether the disability, or aggravation of it, was the proximate result of performing active
duty; or whether the member is currently entitled to basic pay.
(6) (In the case of a member ordered to active duty for 30 days or less, to active
duty for training, or engaged in inactive duty training), whether the disability is the result of
an injury which is the proximate result of performance of this duty.

When the board finds it impossible to make a proper determination of the member's
fitness for duty and/or the perma-nency of his disability, a statement to that effect is
included in the record of the board proceedings, together with a recommen-dation of the
appropriate disposition.
c. When a formal line of duty determination has not been completed but is being
