Fire fighters, FBI, CIA, Secret Service.. The list could go on... Hell the legislators themselves don't even consider themselves "civilians"
If they wanted to define "civilian" they should have, could have and would have done so. But they didn't for a reason. How many Legislators do you think have family members on payroll? My guess is a lot.
I'm going to define non-civilian for ya. Non-Civilian: Anyone who is legally protected by the government in their role. (aka taking care of their own)
But that really doesn't matter because he is hired as an adviser... That's it. It's technically not even a position. It's like you or I hiring a business consultant. Most likely even contracted that way and doesn't even require confirmation. There are always loopholes left open for them.
