When a member of the naval service incurs an injury that might result impermanent disability or that results in his or her physical inability to perform duty for a period exceeding 24 hours, an entry will be made concerning line of duty misconduct. Such an entry will include specific facts concerning time, date, place, names of persons involved, and circumstances surrounding the injury.
Upon admission of an active-duty member to the sicklist, the medical officer or Medical Department representative will enter whether the disease or injury occurred in the line of duty, and was or was not the result of the patient’s own misconduct. (See JAG Manual, chapter VII.)
Miscellaneous entries may include the following:
Dental treatment will be recorded when the patient is on the sicklist and when treatment is related to the condition for which the patient was admitted. These entries will be made and signed by the dental officer. Notes concerning conditions of unusual interest and of medical or dental significance may be made when appropriate.
When a patient is transferred and radiographs are transferred with him or her, a notation to that effect will be entered on the SF 600 or 502, as appropriate.
Results of laboratory examinations made on personnel exposed to radiological hazards will be entered on the SF 600, listing any abnormalities and action taken.
