Are you still considered a true civilian? Do you expect people to thank you for your service

NOAA and the Public Health Service are apparently designated as Uniformed Services.

Back in the 80s the Surgeon General used to appear on TV in his admiral's uniform.

Only the NOAA Corps. There are apparently a bunch of civilian jobs with NOAA, too.

still don't know what's the deal with the "uniformed services" that are not military services, but wear uniforms similar to a military uniform.

CIA and FBI are civilian, in the sense of not military. I assume most NSA employees are civilian. Coast Guard is normally civilian, but can be militarized by the President in wartime. They perform law enforcement, like the Border Patrol, and search and rescue.

No. Many special agents are legitimate "law enforcement" and therefore fall within the category of respect that one might give a normal police officer. But unlike local cops, special agents aren't serving their community. They are carrying out federal investigations, which can be highly politicized, rather than just normal keeping the peace like your local guy.

The notion that some pencil-pusher CIA or FBI (especially non-agents) are "serving" the country is laughable to say the least. Anyone that claims that, like Philip Mudd, should be derided without mercy. These guys are 9-5 teleworkers that are less qualified and work less than people in the private sector.
