For Manfred Diehl, our Veteran of the Week, the path to the depths of the Pacific Ocean began at a Houston recruiting center on Aug. 11, 1969. It was a datethatwouldbookendhis military career; he joined the U.S. Navy under the Cache Program while still inhighschool,agreeingtoa 120-day waiting period before shipping out. When that day arrived, Diehl was flown to Orlando, Florida, to begin 10 weeks of boot camp.

During initial training, Diehl’s aptitude for the complex systems of s modern warfare became clear After qualifying for "A" School, he was stationed at the Navy training facility in Dam Neck, Virginia, to study electronics. Following six months of foundational training, Diehl transitioned to "C" School for instruction on highly specific, classified hardware: the Ships Inertial Navigation System(SINS).
