    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Chapter 6, Section 10 of the Navy's Uniform Regulations states that a retiree may wear a uniform for a formal occasion such as a wedding, funeral, military parade or meeting of a military organization. Retired personnel who teach in military settings are also entitled to wear their uniforms. However, retirees are not authorized to wear uniforms "for the purpose of furthering personal or partisan views on . . . religious issues."
