Under what condition can EMT pants be worn as part of the Class B uniform?

EMT pants can be worn as part of the Class B uniform specifically when not wearing a tie. This is a guideline designed to maintain a uniform appearance while allowing for practicality in operational settings. The rationale behind this policy is to ensure that when a more formal presentation is required, such as during certain events or formal gatherings, the tie adds a level of professionalism to the uniform. Conversely, the absence of the tie allows for more flexibility and comfort in day-to-day operations where the focus might be on readiness and movement rather than formal appearance.
