Your DB should already know his BMT grad date, assuming nothing goes wrong of course. But yeah, it's 8.5 weeks.

Basic is now 8 weeks. There is a chance he could be there longer for various reasons but 8 weeks is the length of the course (the first couple days don't count as part of the training, 8.5 from when he gets there).
http://www.lackland.af.mil/units/737trg.asp There are some things you may want to read there just so you know what's going on and what to expect. Under the family & friends section. I know when DH went through basic there was a calendar somewhere on there to show was was going on week by week and when he would graduate but I didn't see it. It may be there somewhere, I just forgot where I found it, BMT was 6 weeks then though.

Also, if you go to the BMT section of airforce.com, they have a week by week outline of basic. You can read up on what he is doing and countdown that way. But their week does not start on a Sunday like ours does. I will have to ask DF what day it is.
