I hate giving blood, but we gotta do what we gotta do to help each other out.

When I was stationed at Lackland AFB, if you got your weekend liberty revoked the only way you could get it back was by donating blood. And you’re only supposed to donate blood like once every 50 days or something. Which is a problem because I was losing my pass every weekend.
But my own health and well-being weren’t going to stop me from drinking and partying every weekend. So there were several times I went to the med station and donated blood only a week or 2 apart. I’d always visit different nurses so they didn’t catch on.
But it caught up to me eventually. One Monday morning after giving blood and drinking a little too much, I showed up to formation looking frailer than a mfer. My NCO was like, “Park you look like shit.” Then I was like
Not really sure what happened next because I woke up in the hospital.
Anyway, the moral of the story is give blood and save lives and don’t be an asshole. Or something.
