If I did get into uniform I might be arrested for a dangerous weapon. Those buttons flying off might kill someone.

Wearing the uniform improperly outside of its intended use and protocol, is simply drawing undue attention to yourself and demonstrates no honor.... unless you seriously deserve it. I would be wary of anyone doing it lightly.

SPC David Willis - The technical answer is that you are not subject to AR 670-1 when no longer in the Army - that's why it is OK for a vet to wear a long since obsolete uniform. However, if it were me or someone I knew, I would recommend trying to conform as much as possible so as not to detract from the event that you are attending.
Just use good taste and common sense, and you should be alright.

As a old vet, wearing your uniform after service is as noticeable as wearing it when you were in.
You should always be at your best in looks and behavior because you are being noticed and your action will still form and opinion of the uniform branch your wearing.
