When you are retired, you can wear whatever you earned. What are they going to do, give you an Article 15 or courts martial.

Retirees ARE subject to the UCMJ, so it's not impossible

If you were not holding an Infantry PMOS at time of retirement, then no.

Can an Infantry Blue Cord be worn by prior Infantry who changed MOS after retirement?

I believe you wear your "last" uniform in regards to what you where when retired (if you're wanting to wear it for parades and such) so it'd be whatever MOS you retired at, and minus the Infantry cord if it wasn't authorized at the time you retired.

Unless there has been a change, the appropriate section would be 23-1, Retired Personnel:

Retired personnel not on active duty may wear either the uniform reflecting their grade and branch on the date of their retirement, or the uniform prescribed for personnel in the AA of corresponding grade and branch...

"Grade & branch on the date of retirement" means no blue cord unless you were Infantry when retired.

That being said, who really cares? Your earned the right to wear it for a while. Should make for some interesting conversation.

I have a comment. You can wear as long as you don’t change your primary MOS. However, if you hold the Expert Infantry Badge, I believe you are authorized to wear it. If someone could check this regulation I would be very much appreciated. I’m retired and maybe things have changed. I hold the the EIB, EFMB, Air Assault, and Flight Crewman Wings. I proudly wear mine even in retirement on my Dress Blues

Sir, I changed MOSs during my time in service so I was no longer infantry when I retired. A person can’t change their MOS post retirement unless they retire from Active service to serve in the National Guard in which their last MOS is used.
