While I am sure the United States Navy is an equal opportunity employer dedicated to diversity, I was a bit surprised in my research on the US Navy web site for ROTC institutions to find out of all the schools we checked out, when we go to Florida A&M, it had a bad link. The flood of pop up ads and ads on the site shows that someone snagged the domain when it expired, or found the typo and put up the domain name to park it full of ads.

Either way this does not look to good for whomever maintains the US Navy ROTC web site, if they do not check up on their own links or content. Or, that the Unit commander at Florida A&M doesn’t bother to update their own information on the web. I wonder if the unit even knows about this? That’s sad that the incoming link from a major site such as the US Navy list of colleges and universities would not be one they would verify was accurate. One of the points of a web presence is the visibility it brings you. Having a typo shows someone isn’t checking their work.

I am sending the notice of this blurb to the contact on the web site. I wonder how long it will take them to fix the link on https://www.nrotc.navy.mil/colleges.cfm to point to the correct location or remove it. Maybe they can reply and let me know so we can stop the timer on this mistake.
