I think as a retired military member I am authorized to wear my awards on civilian dress; but I am not aware of any time you can wear your "Blue Infantry Cord" in civilian clothes - am I correct?

LTC Leonard M. Manning, Sr I looked for the Regs for the Infantry Blue Cord. This is on Wikipedia.
The Infantry Blue Cord is authorized to be worn only by qualified U.S. Army Infantrymen currently assigned to an infantry unit in the Active Army, Army National Guard or Army Reserve. Only those with an Infantry MOS Military Occupational Specialty such as 11A (Infantry Officers), 11B, 11C, (NOT 11X as this is an "unassigned" position designated for recruits who are contracted into the CMF (Career Management Field) 11 - Infantry) may wear this cord. Other 11 series MOS holders (as both their primary and duty MOS) who may wear the cord are Infantrymen assigned to an Infantry slot that is not in an Infantry unit (such as with Infantry assigned to a cavalry unit) if authorized, or Instructors, Drill Sergeants, or Recruiters.

Qualified Infantry soldiers who are not assigned to an Infantry unit, to include those who are an 11-series MOS holder transitioning to 18-series MOS, for example, (CMF 18 is the designation for the Army Special Forces MOS) may not wear the Infantry Blue Cord or Disks. Those assigned to an Infantry unit may wear the Infantry Blue Cord and Disks until their transition to a non-Infantry unit is complete.
