It’s funny - but a typo counts more to you than the actual UCMJ.

I asked if if it was illegal under the UCMJ to cover the dress blues with a different, required, dress for a non-military event. I do NOT know the answer to that question.

I will certainly remember your disdain and contempt of brother services in the future.

No mention of authorizing of a civilian cap and gown to be worn over it. There is an over-coat that is authorized for inclement weather and outdoor ceremonies.
