According to his reminiscences, Caldwell's early skiing career began while he was at Dartmouth College when he had an opportunity to participate in the World Nordic Championships in Nordic Combined skiing (both cross-country and ski-jumping).
He entered the U.S. Navy through Dartmouth ROTC and was detailed to continue his skiing career.
