Shoulder mics...really!? That's about all I'll say about that so I don't get myself into trouble by voicing my opinion on the internet.

I never use the radio in the truck. I do everything with my portable. Gotta have a shoulder mic... And the radio on a Boston strap.

Didn't see this post. But those straps ^

They are exceptionally convenient straps, but holy cow what a pain in normal use. I use them in active firefighting only.

Our new radios came with shoulder mics and they decided to make it mandatory that we wear them.
Maybe it'll grow on me.
What are these Boston straps you speak of?

It is a strap worn diagonally across the chest that you can clip the radio holster to (I think).
What is sad is that I have never heard that term before, but I have seen them. It figures Boston would come up with something that is the fire equivalent of an EMS hip holster for your 3 pairs of scissors.

I like shoulder mics. I wear the radio on the back of my belt, and stretch the mic up and over and clip it to the button fabric of my polo. I love how I can keep the radio turned way down but still here it, and I am not taking it on and off my belt all day.
Yep. It's extremely firefighterish. I think it's slightly overacheiving, but whatever.

:rofl: Thank you! Sorry I'm feeling extremely lazy at the moment and didn't google it.
That's about the only advantage I can see. Just seems obnoxious considering we run system status management so we sit in the truck all day unless you are lucky enough to get a hard post but we rarely stay there long. Pager on one side and radio on the other...my belt is getting crowded!
With the old radios I just left it in the door handle pocket thingy and grabbed it and clipped it on my pocket whenever I got out of the unit.

I used it the most in the SSM system I worked in. On at the start of shift, off at the end. I just sat on the radio all day.
