Walter worked as a department store manager during his civilian years. He spoke only Ukrainian until he started school in Grade 1. He was very talented academically and was skipped two grades in school by his teachers. He completed Grade 12 with honours. In those days fewer people finished high school because of the Great Depression in the economy. He stood 10th in his RCAF training class of 200 and was immediately given a commission.
