The midshipmen are encouraged to donate blood, to assist in the publicity for the drive and to aid the Red Cross in every possible way to make the Blood Drive a success. For donat- ing blood the midshipmen are guaranteed blood for themselves and their immediate families whenever they need it within the allowed period.
