If you are an officer you have to follow UCMJ because your commission does not expire.

To piggyback on his question, as a honorably discharged veteran attending a military funeral, what DUI if any would be worn on the black beret as I have yet to see a regulation or post that gives an answer to this.

I ask because if you are no longer assigned to a unit you would not wear your shoulder board DUIs and if that is the case then it doesn't seem correct that you would wear your last unit DUI on the beret either however a beret without a crest doesn't seem correct either.
