I wanted to thank everybody for their responses; you've all been a great help.
I had only read the first 2 responses before I went on a short trip and was somewhat discouraged...funny thing is that on my trip I decided that if taking it all off was a sacrifice I would have to make, so be it...
I would like to begin my EMT-B training in Boston this upcoming semester. I plan on staying in town for a while but I'm considering moving to LA later on.
I wanted to know if there are people here from either of those towns and if they have guys with ponytails and or beards working as EMTs...
