Asked to wear other branches (been in two) uniform to Funeral. Advice?

In your situation, I would have worn the Navy Dress Blues. I also am not sure of the regulations, but it was important to the deceased and/or his family, I would take the hit if I was wrong by the regs.

Personally I think it strange since you ae currently serving in the Air Force to be requested to wear the Navy uniform. I think it would be disrespectful to both services. When a person retires they are authorized the wear of the uniform of the branch they retired. Now with that said I dont think anyone would question you because most wouldn't know any better. I was a Marine and retired Air Force but would not try to wear the Marine uniform. But that's just me and my thinking. Here is the only thing I found on the net. http://www.lawinfo.com/illegal-wearing-of-uniforms.html
