The walking blood supply is that blood you get from the buddy in your unit when the bagged supply is unavailable or runs out of your type.

They say, “but don’t you screen for Hiv?” Sure. Once every 2 years or so, but even if they did it the week before deployment, gays are notoriously promiscuous and find a way to connect with someone or something somewhere.
