Flight management told me last week for SNFO they are immediately starting NIFE pre-reqs after check in(/house hunting leave). Dunno about SNA, though.
On the SNA Side, Kind of... the wait list is moving quick for people who checked in before the May '23 Academy grads. Anyone after them will have a decently long wait. As a whole though it is getting better.

How long do you expect to wait from check in to starting NIFE?
I got here in April, I’ll probably start NIFE in November or December
The HM who did my anthros told me NAMI changed the requirements to be more relaxed. They said they couldn’t tell me what that entailed but based on my last reading said I’m a go for the jets pipeline now. I’m taking that with a grain of salt until pcola, but has anyone heard anything similar? Also had mentioned they are dumping the Goshawk?
I cannot imagine we are that far along in replacing the T-45 that today's NIFE students will see it in their pipeline. Then again, I'm helo swine so I could be wrong but AFAIK the Navy hasn't even announced what will replace it.
~6 months ago, a bunch of admirals gathered all the ENS/2LTs in a room and had an open forum with us.
They mentioned they were in the process of replacing the goshawk. Money was already on the table. They mentioned we "might" be in training when it is replaced if not shortly after us.
I know nothing of the T-45 transition process, but I can guess that from every other airframe transition process...you ain't gonna see it.
I guess they've got to give you some hope like in Dumb and Dumber...
The Air Force’s replacement jet has actually been announced and their STILL not flying it. I’d be shocked if the Navy was able to down select, test, and field a suitable replacement in three years.
In T-44 land there is serious discussion about the replacement because the replacement is on the way - and even then only one squadron is getting it to start with, and there didn’t seem to be a firm plan on what the syllabi for it would look like.
In T-45 land there is no discussion (that students are privy to) because it seems like they haven’t even settled the debate of what they want from the next trainer, nevermind who’s going to build it. NAMI might be opening the spigot on waivers for people to go tailhook because there’s such a shortage, but the ol’ BASH-magnet has years in her yet.

Pretty easy when you are replacing a King Air with a...Super King Air.
It’s even easier than that. It’s essentially the newest version of the TC-12.
Think small thoughts!
