Sec. 773. When distinctive insignia required

    (a) A person for whom one of the following uniforms is prescribed 
may wear it, if it includes distinctive insignia prescribed by the 
Secretary of the military department concerned to distinguish it from 
the uniform of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps, as the case 
may be:
        (1) The uniform prescribed by the university, college, or school 
    for an instructor or member of the organized cadet corps of--
            (A) a State university or college, or a public high school, 
        having a regular course of military instruction; or
            (B) an educational institution having a regular course of 
        military instruction, and having a member of the Army, Navy, Air 
        Force, or Marine Corps as instructor in military science and 
        tactics.

        (2) The uniform prescribed by a military society composed of 
    persons discharged honorably or under honorable conditions from the 
    Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps to be worn by a member of 
    that society when authorized by regulations prescribed by the 
    President.

    (b) A uniform prescribed under subsection (a) may not include 
insignia of grade the same as, or similar to, those prescribed for 
officers of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps.
    (c) Under such regulations as the Secretary of the military 
department concerned may prescribe, any person who is permitted to 
attend a course of instruction prescribed for members of a reserve 
officers' training corps, and who is not a member of that corps, may, 
while attending that course of instruction, wear the uniform of that 
corps.
