When I was in the USAF, basic training, they tested my blood and said I was A Neg. blood type. They put it on my dog tags A Neg. I still have the dog tags. Then 9 years later, here in Dallas, the Wadley blood mobile showed up in the parking lot. They took some blood and I got a letter from them afterwards thanking me for the A Positive blood donation. I remember calling them and disputing it but they were adamant about it being A Positive. So two days ago, I ordered two Blood Type kits from Amazon. (Eldon cards and lancets ect.) Today I did the test as per the Instructions and it showed A Positive. My wife knew hers from the doctors when she had our daughters. So she was the control. We did the test on her and sure enough, it showed exactly what the Doctors told her years ago.

So, how could the military have analyzed my blood type as A- when it was A+? I remember in the middle of the nights being awakened by the TI to get dressed and report to Wilford hall to give blood. There were Vietnam vets coming back into the hospital that needed blood.

I spelled my middle name incorrect for almost 30 years of my life. My DD-214 and all my records have my middle name spelled incorrectly.

My dad and I share the same name and he corrected me on it later in life, I was dumbfounded. Everything from age 30 and younger I did has an incorrectly spelled middle name.

I know it’s a middle name but still....wow

Yeah Bob, burning time during WAWI’s pandemic was quite a challenge. Last fall I was just one Blue Moon post away from ordering the $9 blood test off of Amazon and going rogue with my lab work too. Luckily Mudshark got s-canned from Twitter and came back to the TFF.
