Title	Oral history interview with Mark D. Levine recorded 2006 Jan. 18
Description	Interview conducted by Eileen Hurst. Mark D. Levine joined the U.S. Army in 1981, at the age of 31. He was a ninth grade Physical Education teacher at the time, but he had grown up in a military environment, and decided that the education and opportunities that the military offered were what he wanted. He went to basic training at Fort Benning, Ga., and then onto Paratrooper School. He also went to school to be a medic. After schooling he was assigned to an infantry platoon as a line medic. Levine was part of the invasion of Grenada, where he cared for injured soldiers in the jungle. He then worked out of Fort Bragg, Ga., until he enlisted with Special Forces as a medic in 1986. Because of Levine's medical and paratrooper training, he was chosen as a member of FAST (forward airborne surgical team), one of the first groups of medical personnel that would parachute in to provide medical support on the front lines. He performed duties in FAST during the uprising in Panama and during hurricane recovery efforts in St. Croix. After these assignments, Levine went on to Saudi Arabia during the 1st Gulf War, where he trained as a ranger, and then applied that training with FAST during Operation Desert Storm, where the team worked throughout Kuwait and Kuwait City. After Levine's time in the Middle East, he was sent to Germany, and then to Colorado. It Colorado he supervised a small hospital, and it was there that he found out that his neck was crushed from a prior jump. Although, he wished to remain in the military for an additional five years, Levine was discharged in 1996 for medical reasons. After his discharge he worked as a private practical nurse, and used the G.I. Bill to further his education.
