I'm type O. How does one locate a "military blood collection facility"?

You want to hear something ironic? I'm type O and would be willing to donate, but my military service in Europe during the 80's disqualifies me.

I'm O-Negative and work at Ft. Hood. If anyone knows when Robertson Army Hospital will hold it's next drive, give me a ping.
Thanks,

I have the 'universal donor' blood type, but a childhood bout of hepatitis absolutely prevents me from donating. Believe me, I would, if I could. My daughter who has the same blood type has donated on a regular schedule for years.

The Walking Blood Supply
This is precisely why permitting homosexuals in the military is such a danger. They are far more likely, with their mega-multiple partners per year, to be carriers of various blood-borne diseases....all the way up to HIV/AIDS.
When blood is needed on the battlefield, the military turns to its own troops.
Even if homosexuals refused to offer blood, then morale would be undermined by the idea that "My blood can save you, but if I take yours, it could kill me."
Likewise, in first aid on the battlefield, if I help you I risk contact with your blood, AND if you help me, I risk contact with your blood. Morale is undercut at a crucial time in the life-saving system.

Type O positive cannot be used in a person with negative rH factor.
