I want to take high altitude training. However when I tried to sign up, the FAA
said the Air Force cancelled its altitude chamber agreement and that training is
no longer available. Does anybody know differently? They have a psych class
taught in Oklahoma City once a month and nothing else.

Results may vary but you can take training in an altitude chamber and see how
you would fare. I agree you need a good hard mask with a built in mic. Mountain
High sells such a mask. I know others on this list have had rapid decomps at
flight levels and may have different experiences. Ralf had one in his IVP last
year.
