Do you call drill instructors sir?
Drill instructors are referred to as “sir” or “ma’am” by recruits within the USAF, USMC, and USCG (for the first few weeks of basic training, until recruits are instructed to refer to their company commanders by their proper rank).

Why do recruits call drill instructors sir?
The sergeant explained that drill instructors are highly sensitive to rank and position: They are to be called “sir” at all times. “Address them in a very loud tone,” the sergeant said. “It’s a sign of self-confidence.” They would all be addressed as “Recruit,” he said, and they should get used to it.

As a general rule, “Sir”/”Ma’am” is used in speaking either officially or socially to any senior.

All NCOs will be addressed as “Sergeant” with the exception of the First Sergeant and Sergeant Major.

Is “ Sir Yes Sir” a marine thing?
“Sir, yes Sir” is a Marine thing. Since I never heard a Marine say it in real life outside of training, I assume it is only used by them briefly at the beginning of their career. It’s a Boot Camp/A-School quirk. I think I said it once as a junior enlisted soldier when I first met a (2 star) General.
