Hi, CO 2024 here. I saw that we can optionally add our blood type, I don't know mine so we asked my doctor to order a blood type test at a lab, we also ordered a TB test because I wasn't sure if I needed one. I later found out I didn't need the TB test, only the blood type test. I went to the lab and clearly asked them NOT to do the TB test, only the blood type test. I had a terrible time with the blood withdrawal, they took four whole big vials of blood and I got nauseous and threw up. I thought: "at least I'll know my blood type now and I won't have to do this ever again"...until later, when I found out that they did the TB TEST, and NOT THE BLOOD TYPE! So now I'm void of $40, my blood type, 4 vials of blood, and my dignity...at least I know I don't have TB.
Anyway...I can get a blood test again, this time just one small vial for my blood type. Should I do it? What happens if I do or don't know my blood type at West Point?
