Retiree Uniform Restrictions.
Wear of the member's uniform is prohibited for all retirees:
In connection with the promotion of any political or commercial interests or when engaged in off duty civilian employment. Reserve technicians who are also members of the Ready Reserve may wear their uniform at their option while on duty in their civil service status.
When participating in public speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies, or public demonstrations, except as authorized by competent authority.
When wearing the uniform would bring discredit upon the Uniformed Services.
When specifically prohibited by DoD Regulations.

This all assumes you are not in the active, reserve, guard, or inactive reserve, in which case it's strictly forbidden, and I don't believe anyone who has been dishonorably discharged is allowed to wear the uniform period.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
