MrJacques Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 O+ I've donated twice, and I'd like to again, but it really takes it out of me, so I can't as often as I'd like to.
Vetseun Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Lots. Free helicopter flips for one..Jaaaa. I eventually got tired of chopper flights. Would give my eye teeth for a flip now. Those Airforce pilot were brilliant.
HdB Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 A- I also donate as regularly as possible. If I remember correctly, I have just over 50. Pity I didn't start earlier.
Tabula Rasa Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Have no idea and ive been meaning to go donate. Not a fan of needles. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
funjunkie Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Its really not necessary to know your blood type.If you are in an accident and need blood in an emergency, then you will be given O- blood.The casualty departments only have emergency supply of O- blood as it can be used universally to all blood types. If it is less urgent, than a sample of your blood will be sent to the blood bank, tested for your blood group, cross matched with donor blood ( This checks that there is no reaction between your blood and donor blood) and sent to the casualty. Even if you know your blood group, this procedure will be done everytime you need blood. That said, I would encourage everybody to become a donor.

Included in it is a 16 month tour of the SW Border operational area and Southern Angola. Throw in a couple of firefights and some danger pay plus you will see some incredible things and make some very good buddies.
