Nancyjo, I'm so sorry to hear about your son and his uniforms. I can't believe how people behave at this time of the year. If they needed something g so bad, there are services out there to help them. I only wish that when they saw what they had taken they would have taken them to a location that would have gotten them back to your son. I wish all the best to your son and hope things only get better for him,

congrates to you and your nuke also mommamac. Hope you will hang here for awhile anywhay

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 19, 2014 at 9:58pm

Congrates to you and your nuke, B'sNukeMom. I hope this does NOT mean this group will be losing you. I always enjoy your posts and support. 

Comment by BunkerQB on December 19, 2014 at 5:13pm

NancyJo, ask the people at the townhouse complex for help. Especially in your sailor's case. I know the greater majority would bend over backwards to be of assistance. My husband was the president for the HOA Board for the townhouse he owned. It's usually one or two sticklers on rules that drive people crazy. Good luck. Please let us know what happens. There are so many "life lessons." 

Comment by Rhonda K. on December 19, 2014 at 5:10pm

Hi Harley rider,  my Sailor has been at Goose Creek since before Thanksgiving and they do go to the mall in Charleston quite frequently and I looked at the stores there and they do have a Target, Dicks Sporting goods etc.....That is what I am doing is buying gift cards for some of those places as he will not have room to take allot of Christmas gifts home on the plane.  Also, Subway is on base and at the mall.  Merry Christmas!! 

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on December 19, 2014 at 4:23pm

Thanks for the insight, Bunker. What you say is true. We are just operating in a "defend our sailor" mode right now and are hurting for him. There are exceptions to almost every rule and our knee-jerk reaction is to do whatever is possible to help. It's not like they are having a garage sale or something. Anyway, I always appreciate hearing both sides. So, we'll let that part go. One of the great things about blogs is the diversity of viewpoints and I appreciate yours. :)

Comment by BunkerQB on December 19, 2014 at 3:13pm

We are protective of our sons and daughters. We all see red when one of them gets taken advantage of. The Homeowners Association is entrusted with enforcing the CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) for the complex. The members of the Boards of Directors may in fact agree with you (as an individual) but as a member of the Board of Directors can not approve of posting flyers regardless of the message.  I am not sure what I would have done if I were on the Board. I would have to look at the Bylaws and the Rules (part of the CC&Rs) for the complex and do everything within my power to get the message out.  I think calling the members of the Board directly and ask for help in getting the word out may be one step. If father/son know other residents, they could ask if some one them could participate in a phone tree. Or the neighborhood watch group (for crime prevention). Perhaps a comment can be included in the next issue of the newsletter. I don't know how many units are in the complex. As a realtor, I have sent out letter asking for help from neighbors in case of lost pets (escrow closing, moving van coming and cats have run off). If there is a realtor who specializes in complex, contact him/her and ask if he/she would be willing to send a postcard to all the units asking for return of the seabag.

For larger complexes, most likely a management company has been contracted to act on behalf of the Board. By the way, being a Board member is an unpaid, volunteer position - often unappreciated. The owners of the units can propose changes to the ByLaws, Rules & Regulations.

I am not going to comment of restrictions on flying the American flag other than I would fly it until someone tell me otherwise. Our trend to be politically correct is stupid.

Comment by SoCal_Sailor_Dad on December 19, 2014 at 1:38pm

NancyJo, that is probably the same type of HOA that tries to ban residents from flying the American flag.

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on December 19, 2014 at 1:11pm

He ended up just going online and ordered new uniforms. He should get them in the next couple days. Since they were still traveling there was just no way that he would have the time to shop around.

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on December 19, 2014 at 1:10pm

The flyers were asking whoever took the seabag to return it, no questions asked.
