Commander's Help Line Published Oct. 27, 2006 By Col. Timothy Zadalis 43rd Airlift Wing commander POPE AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. -- Yard sales Q: I was told by base housing I cannot put signs out for a yard sale. How effective of a yard sale can you have without advertising it? A: Thank you for your call. Feedback is very important to improving the quality of life in Family Housing, and I appreciate you taking the time to provide input regarding advertising for yard sales. Pope's housing regulation states that yard sales are permitted on a case-by-case basis, and signs can be displayed on the day of the sale in front of your unit. Please understand that this policy was established in order to maintain a fair policy for everyone. I feel the current policy contributes favorably to the base appearance standard. A great place to advertise your yard sale is in the Classified Ads section in the Carolina Flyer. The ads are free to all active duty military. There is a section specifically for yard sales.
