Did you actually look at that site? It's pretty much just a placeholder until somebody actually makes a site.
Nice try, but no.
Have you attempted to give them a call on the telephone?

FY09 STA-21 NFO Select
Thank you for the phone number. I have not contacted him yet. I am hoping to see how the Mids and OCs felt about the unit. It is my understanding that sometimes what the staff says about the unit can be a little different than what the students say.
I think what people are missing is that he's not looking for some link to some website that has some phone number on it.
For people going into STA-21 and MECEP, talking to current/former students can help decide where you end up going. If the officers at the school give you the old, "Our students are too busy (or aren't available right now) to answer questions" line, it probably means they don't want students talking to prospects and telling them how horrible it is. I get the feeling 0812GM is looking for people who actually know something, not "answers" copied from a half-assed website.

Granted this was a couple years ago, but I almost joined as a Marine option and I've visited twice, hanging out with all the students. Seems to be a pretty good shindig they've got going over there. I enlisted instead, but I'm fairly sure that if I had ended up joining them I wouldn't regret it. Can't speak for the officers since I didn't have any prolonged contact with them but the students were all motivated and seemed to have good morale.

When I was picked up for STA-21 five years ago I looked at Idaho and put it down as my second choice.
The unit seemed very relaxed...the CO's statement on the website, at the time, talked about how proud he was of their MWR gear locker and how MIDN X, Y and Z snagged really big bucks last season. This when other websites talked about uniform inspections and mandatory drill team, etc.
When I applied to Idaho the U was more proactive and receptive to OCs than any of the other colleges at which I looked. They accepted me almost immediately (I believe WAZZU's policy IS automatic acceptance to OCs) and offered me a $2-3000/yr grant knowing that the Navy already paid for everything. Idaho is also one of the dozen or so units where Nuke options are allowed to go so keep that in mind.

Hooray Northwest Navy!!!
Don't ever say that again. That damn "event" managed to ruin two birthdays and a spring break for me.
Oh, come on. Where's your esprit de corps? 
Besides, I can't think of a better way to spend my spring break than by sitting around answering trivia questions about the history of SWO-dom (incorrectly). No matter what we never had it as bad as those poor saps in Utah, though.
