So, as someone playing a civilian does this mean we will all be shouting YES SIR, saluting high ranks, and subject to court martial?
What does this mean to the nature of the game?
Or is this an attempt to try to prevent shouting matches, general chaos and lack of people doing their share of guard duty at games?
Just some questions really or am I over reacting?

As a civilian saying yes Sir shows respect, but is not a requirement and as for saluting you do not it's a military thing and a civilian saluting shows total disrespect.
Hope that helps.
And to help out the Military PC's on this subject, please read on.
Sir, is only used when addressing a Commissioned Officers (of higher rank if an Officer) or Warrant Officers.
SNCO's & below are referred to by their Rank and/or name by higher & Lower rankings.
Officers refer to WO’s as Mister (Mr.) followed by their surname. Any other Military person not Commissioned doing this is will be in big trouble, it’s a real NO, NO.
You should only offer a salute to a Commissioned Officer.
WO, and SNCO & below do not salute each other.
The lower rank always offers the salute to the high rank first, and then it is returned by the higher.
A salute should only be offered and/or returned if head cover is worn.
Remember you are showing respect to the crown (the holder of the commission) not the person you are saluting.

It's got more to do with the current change in IC command than anything else - doubtless players who have military rank and/or RMP membership will find themselves inundated with questions from the rest of us because of Colonel Creighton's latest diktat. You lucky, lucky people.

If you fancy a little light *snort* reading the following may be useful:
Army Values: http://www.army.mod.uk/join/terms/3733.aspx
Disciplinary & Military Law: http://www.army.mod.uk/join/terms/1112.aspx
Of particular note is the Standing Civilian Court information:
http://www.army.mod.uk/join/terms/1116.aspx
Also, if your insomnia is playing up I can recommend:
The Armed Forces Act 2006: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2006/ukpga_20060052_en_1. Schedule 3 may be of particular interest to civilians under military jurisdiction.

Its a bit of the "reduce chaos" and also what steve said. Bear in mind the IC change and the fact that quite a few of the IC reports I read said the need for a lot more structure. So IC that's what you've got.

just one thing about saluting, usual practice in the field, where we spend in character time don't salute even if wearing head gear
because it just tells snipers and other observers who is important and good targets

I was keeping that one to myself, it's not always a bad thing!

by the way, on a different but related matter.
Just what is meant by 'in theatre'? I hear this said about the place but am unsure of it's actual meaning.
