The uniform reg still stands in effect no matter your in or out of the service with limitations .
Please review it still to be in the right.
There are new laws now that can effect you wearing your uniform as a civilian.

One thing that a lot of these discussions fail to address is that when WEARING the uniform, you go BACK in to the military. That means you will be clean shaven, mustache/beard/hair length within spec for your time period, etc. Tatoos, piercings, etc. Oh and...it also means you must salute/render honors, etc. "Good morning sir/maam," etc. No way. Not me. I'm wearing a suit with mini ribbons/badges.

For sailors, you can wear it any time, but you (a) have to wear the whole thing and (2) it has to be proper. So if I was going to wear my dress blue jumper, I'd have to have the white t-shirt, white "dixie cup" hat, neckerchief, jumper top, 13 button pants, black socks and black uniform shoes. I can't decide not to wear the hat or the neckerchief. Also, you can't mix and match. If your uniform is from the 1980's, you can't mix it with modern parts, etc. Also, you can't go back in time. I'd love to wear a 1960's/1970's "salt and pepper" uniform but it wasn't "issue" when I was in so for me to get one for wearing would be wrong unless I was a re-enactor taking part in a Navy history display. Now, having said that, a Pearl Harbor veteran wearing wrong gear is going to get nothing from me but a stiff salute and my undying respect...
