As far as I understand, the remaining differences between military and civilian GPS don't matter much for accuracy. The military may still have the advantage of ionospheric correction, but civilians can use other augmentation systems like WAAS[1] with similar results. I think the military signals are mostly intended to protect against signal spoofing and jamming.
