The entire service record may be considered, including uncommunicated adverse remarks, and prior communication or hearing is not required before the decision is taken. Such remarks do not by themselves invalidate the order. Judicial review is confined to limited grounds, including mala fides, absence of evidence, or arbitrariness where no reasonable person could have formed the requisite opinion.
