Henry, MBA4731808<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'd suggest Class Bs. That's what we wore for our summer OSUT graduation, anyway. No one will have a problem with a retiree wearing a different uniform than everyone else.Response by SPC Elijah J.

However, <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1648919" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1648919-maj-chad-lester">MAJ Chad Lester</a>, since this is a formal event, not black tie level, if you choose to wear a uniform, sir, it will have to be Class A or better.Response by SGT Javier Silva made Jun 18 at 2019 9:34 AM2019-06-18T09:34:17-04:002019-06-18T09:34:17-04:00MSG Gary Eckert4731846<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>While you are authorized to wear Class As, I think you should wear the uniform you have earned with that retirement, Khaki pants with a polo shirt. I view this like a wedding, you don't want your appearance to take away from the Brides, so for his graduation you don't want to take away from his friends and him. Additionally, you will relieve a lot of anxiety from those young troops while they try and figure out whether they need to salute the guy with the Retired Patch on the sleeve of his uniform.Response by MSG Gary Eckert made Jun 18 at 2019 9:49 AM2019-06-18T09:49:47-04:002019-06-18T09:49:47-04:00SGT Joseph Gunderson4732026<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yeah, wear the Class Bs.
