I'm a donor, are you?

Ping See if your local Vet Hall or American Legion can set up a blood drive. It will help with recruiting too.

I'm working on some Mold Addendums. See you later.

[Calpernia]

Mold Addendums? When you're back, what are those?

[jnarcus]

I want to donate but I don't want to do it thru the red cross ( for many reasons) Are there specific blood banks that are run for the military and if so how do I find out where they are?

Interesting to see the difference between the standards for blood donation - I've recently returned from a malarial country, and I'm still elegable to donate - plasma only.

I checked out the link too - whole blood donations here have to be three months apart - not 8 weeks. vCJD precautions look fairly universal.

Is it true that people get paid to donate blood in the States? There's been some minor talk of that happening here...

[upchuck]

Is it true that people get paid to donate blood in the States?

Yes it is true. I personally know of a blood center in Louisville, KY that pays $20 for a donation.

Some Ineligible for Blood Donations
Some military retirees are ineligible to give blood, according to officials at the Armed Forces Blood Program Office (AFBPO). A substantial number of military members and their families cannot donate blood because of past duty assignments in the United Kingdom and Europe.
The restrictions were implemented last fall by the Food and Drug Administration as a precautionary measure against exposure to the human form of mad cow disease. Retirees, as well as some active-duty personnel, are affected.
Department of Defense officials issued a policy based on that of the FDA, which defers retirees, military personnel and family members who meet any of the following criteria:
* Traveled or resided in the United Kingdom from 1980 through 1996 for a cumulative period of three months or more.
* Traveled or resided in Europe from 1980 through 1996 for a cumulative period of six months or more.
* Traveled or resided in Europe since 1980 for a cumulative period of five years or more.
* Received a blood transfusion in the United Kingdom since 1980.
* Received a bovine insulin product produced in the United Kingdom since 1980.
"We want to stress that retirees who are eligible to donate should continue to give blood to ensure DOD supplies are met," said Major Ronny Alford, deputy director for AFBPO.

Donated in Pittsburgh on Saturday. Hadn't donated all year because we had been to Mexico City and Guadalahara last year. They asked if I traveled to any ruins and since I did not, I was okay to donate. Glad I did. If you have any questions about your status call your local blood Bank and ask them, they are really good about answering questions.
