To be able to wear it, you must hold an 11 series, and currently be serving in that MOS. If, for example, you were 11B, then you reclassed to a non-infantry MOS, you wouldn't be authorised to wear the shoulder cord anymore.

Soldiers that were assigned to the unit during the timeframe during which an award was earned may wear that award after leaving the unit.
