Anywhere from about 64 in winter to 84 in summer depending on location of course.
I hear they got satellite tv in their dive goggles too. :)

I'm AF, and I don't particularly care for it. Leave it to the Navy. Ain't a damn thing in "High Flight" about diving in murky water.
Stay. On. Mission.
Navy gets the water, AF gets the skies (but shares), Army gets the ground, and the Marines get the short end of the stick (unfortunately).

Not knowing what the Air Force course is like compared to the one the Marines send their Force and Recon men to in Panama City, but the length of time is the same.
Two years ago a spoke with an instructor at BRC (Basic Recon Course) in Coronado at graduation and his comment to me was "I can't believe what they put these guys through".
The instructor was a SEAL.
