Wearing of the Military Uniform when off duty and off installation

What if a guy puts on Marine dress blues on the 4th of July, or other patriotic holiday, and walks around the downtown celebration attired in that manner?
He was in the Marines for four years and left the service about 35 years ago. As he walks around the crowd, he introduces himself as "Staff Sergeant ....".
Is that OK? Is that "douchey"?
Same facts but change the branch of service to Coast Guard. OK? "Douchey" ?
Questions like these sometimes get inconsistent answers, so, I though I'd ask.

frick it, they gave 4 years of their life for your freedom, let em wear their badge proudly. Yes, some of them can be douche bags, but most aren't.

Given all the hate for America being exhibited by bad QBs and lesbian soccer players, I don't have a problem with it.

If they served, I don't care if something like this is done; however, I wouldn't do it myself.

If he obtained SSG in the marines in 4 years then yes that is ok.
Mostly because I am pretty sure that's impossible.
At least for real military branches it is.

Just trying to get a consistent answer. My question has not been answered in any other thread, so I made this one.
Everybody seems to have an opinion, but, there's no consensus. Opinions are all over the place, some say it's great, some say it's "douchey".
If it's unlikely to make Staff Sergeant in 4 years, change the facts to whatever time it takes to make the lowest NCO rank, Sergeant, or E5, in any branch.
We agree that the rules are the same for all branches of the service? Or am I wrong about that?
Yes or No, and tell us why. There are lots of Vets, Reservists, Guardsmen and so forth out there and this is a legit question.
