I do not want to start the debate over whether or not shorts should be worn. We each have our own opinions about that. What I am trying to obtain is a list of departments that allow this. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 We are allowed to wear the black EMT shorts during the summer time. they must be just above the knee, they must have the side pockets in order to be work friendly. They have worked out for our service the past few years.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Infact, its pretty much the services in Galveston county or nearby. However, I myself am not fond of it, but in critical situations, jump suits are supplied for the medics wearing shorts. As of the 15th, medics have started to wear their shorts. Luckily, my partner and I decided on no shorts, so we don't have a debate problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I have read the responses with great interest. I've looked at it from all sides--- from safety to comfort. The only conclusion I can come up with is I'M TOO BOW-LEGGED TO WEAR SHORTS! Aina wrote: Infact, its pretty much the services in Galveston county or nearby.
