you are in the service right? they will do that. if I am correct, being in the service means you can not give blood for x amount of years, for my husband it was 10 years before he could donate anything like that.... [/QUOTE]Yes.
Post Desert Storm the military took it after 3 yrs. Civilian blood drives waited 5 yrs. That was before we became the guinea pigs for Anthrax, and 1-4 different types of anti-malaria vaccines.
