EMT Clothing

[Ridryder 911]

What I find ironic is someone actually asking about boots, or pants?... Either your service purshcase them, have a certain type or allows one to purchase themselves... find some that works for you...

But someone who has never been in EMS before doesn't know that, or where to get them.

The only thing I knew about EMS was that on Saturday morning at 3 AM the EMT's pulling "Johnny Intoxicated" out of his rolled over truck/car were wearing jeans and a sweatshirt or their highspeed jackets. Our full time FF/EMT's (all two of them) wear blue pants and a 3 button polo. The old standard on TV is apparently the "Ricky Rescue" spokesperson, and they wear pants with as many "EMT specific" pockets they can find. I think its easy to not know what is normal if you're the new kid on the block, getting his EMT to get hired.

Obviously, if we were all lucky enough to be hired first, (and the department had an explicit policy on uniforms) there would be no issue.

check your local Army Navy store. you can usually find plain blue BDU's and sometimes BDU/medic pants ( the ones wit the straps for your sheers) there. I get the BDU/medic pants and just cut the strings off the bottom of the pant legs
