What type of training occurs after completion of NIFE?

After the completion of NIFE (Naval Introductory Flight Evaluation), the subsequent training primarily focuses on flight events. This phase is crucial because it equips midshipmen with practical flying experience and skills, which are essential for their future roles as naval aviators. During flight events, students engage in actual flying exercises, building on the foundational concepts learned in NIFE, thereby enhancing their competency and readiness for advanced flight training in different aircraft types.

Ground school is more theoretical and involves classroom instruction about aviation principles, regulations, and safety, which typically occurs during the earlier phases of training rather than after NIFE. Submarine training is entirely different, focusing on different naval specialties that are unrelated to aviation. Career advancement, while an important aspect of overall professional development, does not specifically refer to the training that follows completion of flight evaluations but rather to the progression in rank and responsibilities throughout a naval career.
