There are civilian employees of the DoD who "ARE" issued military ID
cards.  Civilian employees who are stationed overseas are issued ID cards
which say "For Overseas Use Only".  I know because I had one.

Civilian employees overseas "DO" get PX privileges and all the other 
privileges/services that uniformed members get.  There are even overseas
employees of DoD contractors that are issued an "installation pass".
Some of these contractor employees also get PX/Commissary Privileges.
They register their vehicle with the DoD agencies, have DoD driver's
licenses, etc.  I don't think they get to use U.S. medical facilities
though.  At least this was the case where I was in Germany.
