After attending the Cathedral Preparatory School in Erie, he entered the U.S. Naval Academy and was graduated in the Class of 1939.

He joined the Regular Navy in September, 1945. Admiral Weschler's first sea duty was aboard the USS WASP, including a tour with the British Home Fleet and two resupplies of aircraft to Malta, until steaming to the Pacific for the invasion of Guadacanal. The ship was sunk there on September 15, 1942. By 1943 he was back in the Pacific Theater in USS Sigsbee. He participated in the bulk of the amphibius operations in the central and southern Pacific during World War II. The end of the Korean conflict found him in command of USs Clarence K. Bronson. Tours of duty ashore have included post graduate training at MIT in Fire Control Ordnance and here years at the Naval War College as both student and member of the staff.
