Bloused boots in ems?

[Chewy20]

Shorts look absolutely ridiculous and unprofessional, IMO.

If you actually know how to carry yourself, I don't see shorts being an issue. This is my first time living down south and I can not imagine not being able to wear shorts with this heat/humidity.

If my company allows shorts, best believe I am wearing them.

I think blousing boots would look pretty ridiculous myself.

Newsflash: EMS is not the military, is not remotely LIKE the military, and should not be remotely like the military.

I've never seen anyone blouse their boots here.

While I agree that blousing boots looks pretty silly, many EMS agencies are paramilitary in structure.

Shorts would be awesome, but then I would have to wear a leg condom.

I've got an extra compression thingy from my surgery if you wanna borrow it

Unless my agency changes their stance on tattoos I'm destined to be in pants and a long sleeve shirt.

Never seen it in EMS/Fire/PD/sheriff and anywhere else

RSO blouses their pants when wearing class b's

Hey guys, what's your opinion of ems personnel blousing their pants? I always thought they looked cool and professional, but I don't want to seem like I'm trying too hard on my first day as an EMT. I saw one guy at my station with bloused boots but I don't know how common it is.

We used to do it a lot in

We used to do it in southeast Georgia way back in the day. Like about 1995. A few years around that time. It was great. We didn't have cell phones back then. We wore bloused pants with the class A white shirts and the service beepers on our uniform somewhere. Either the belt line or the Epilets on the shirt. Those were the days. I would like to do it again.

Wow, 8 years thread bump...

Anyways, slightly more pertinent to the OG convo, I was a Paratrooper in the Army, even in an Airborne Reserve unit while working EMS... and I never bloused my pants, never seen anyone else do it (at least not purposefully, a few times someone's hem got caught on the top of their boots, but thats not exactly the same thing lol)

Bloused boots in EMS = nerd.

It’s what you are telling the PUBLIC that counts…

 

[DrParasite]

never done it... doubt I ever would.

 

[NomadicMedic]

We don’t allow blousing pants in boots in my uniform guidelines.

Also, it looks kinda goofy.

Can't blouse pants over cowboy style work boots, but I can scrunch my pants over my boots like bunker gear and then sleep in my skivvies

 

[RsqCrack]

I've only ever seen fat people with super short haircuts blouse EMT pants FWIW.

I think it's ridiculous.
