He states that the claimant did not elaborate on if he was in any pain or discomfort as to the pulling of the balletic vest and recalled that the claimant did mention that he had planned on submitting a memo through the chain of command to address this matter.

He believed that the claimant wanted to change the design of his department issued balletic vest which he wore under his class C approved polo
