Getting married next year, and would like to know if you can wear your Dress Blues, after being discharged. Any info on this is very much appreciated, thanks.

No, once you get discharged from the military, you cannot legally wear your uniform anywhere.
You'll just have to wear a tux like everyone else.....
Good luck on your marriage!

"Retired military members and certain honorably discharged veterans may wear the US Military uniform on certain occasions. This authority is authorized by Federal law (10 USC, 772). It allows certain veterans and retirees to wear the US Military uniform, as prescribed by the individual services.
While attending military funerals, memorial services, weddings, inaugurals, and other occasions of ceremony.
While attending parades on national or state holidays, or other patriotic parades or ceremonies in which any active or reserve United States military unit is taking part. Only service and dress uniforms may be worn; the BDU and physical fitness uniforms will not be worn."
Read your regs. and you would not have to ask this question.

It is not proper to wear the uniform unless you are still in the military, either active or reserve.
Sorry

The only way you can wear it and not be active duty is to be retired.

No, its in your handbook and rulebook. You have to be currently enlisted even if you aren't active duty. Sorry.

Contact your local recruiting office, or the retirement office. Maybe they would know
