Specialist, not only no, but heck no! Whoever told you to wear anything other than a Suit (not a sports coat and slacks, but a SUIT), does not have your best interests at heart. Everyone here has given you really good advise and I highly recommend you listen to them.<div><br></div><div>I applied for a job at Wally World not long after retiring, of all places, and was the only one there in a suit. I was hired for a professional position at twice the pay of the others, most of whom were in jean, shorts, cut offs, or worse. Clothes do make the difference, and ASUs are not appropriate for ANYTHING in the civilian world, even for a LE position.</div>

Plain and simple: refer to the regs, that is what they are there for: AR-670-1
Chapter 30
Wear of the Army Uniform by Reserve, Retired, Separated, and Civilian Personnel
30–1. Occasions of ceremony
a. As used in this regulation, the phrase “occasions of ceremony” means occasions essentially of a military character, at which the uniform is more appropriate than civilian clothing. These functions include, but are not limited to: military balls, military parades, weddings, and military funerals; memorial services, meetings and conferences; or
functions of associations formed for military purposes, of which the membership is composed largely or entirely of current or honorably discharged veterans of the Armed Forces or reserve components.
