I used to give blood but then my mother randomly told me after my 4th donation that when I was born I needed three blood transfusions to stay alive, (was born 11 weeks early). With this in mind I remembered that you're not allowed to give blood if you've ever had a transfusion, something about a blood scare years ago about a transfusion with infected blood or something. Until they develop a test, my rare blood type will stay rare.
I LOVE the cookies and biscuits the nurses give me when I gave blood! Tasty as hell and a great reason to slack off work in college for an hour or two :P

For anyone that cares, I'm a card carrying donor of the American Red Cross. If I can donate, I do it. It's free, it's only a pin prick and you may save a life.
I wouldn't qualify in fact should I go they'd be rushing me to another table to actually donate blood to me.
I weight less than what is required and my blood pressure is near non-detectable (Freaks everyone out all the time but whenever they check my pulse and heart rate I do my best to slow the rate down as much as I can).
' Wrote:Dunno did you mean there is place where blood can be donated every two weeks, or that you personally do it every 2 weeks,
cause it wouldn't be possible, body can't compensate half a liter of blood in just 2 weeks.
That's why there is 3 months limit.
I don't think the military cares what my body should or should not be able to do :$
I may have misremembered though. Could be two months.
