Instead of attempting to hijack a long established tradition, why can't other career fields find their own traditions? Giving each branch it's own cord would cheapen the overall effect. There is only one other cord currently authorized that I'm aware of, which is the one worn by General's Aides.
Something else worth mentioning is that the blue cord is an organizational decoration not an award. An Infantryman assigned to a non-Infantry unit is no longer authorized to wear their cord. An Infantryman who reclasses to a different MOS, even if they stay in the same unit, is likewise no longer authorized to wear their cord. It's my goal to never take mine off.
