Varies depending on person. Some a hug, others a handshake, still others I wave from afar. Lol

Yes Sir.
I really thought there is another way that is different from the regular greetings.

Everything you need to know on how to address military personnel was taught to you during BMT. If you are in uniform follow the military guidelines. How you address your friends and/or comrades on the outside in civilian status is between the two of you. I would address your Leadership the same no matter what status you are in. While it may be appropriate to say "What's up bitch?" to your friends, I wouldn't address your Leadership that way, no matter what status you are in, unless you are Nucking Futs and enjoy extra duties and counseling sessions.

If you go to basic training you’ll be taught military customs and courtesy. It’s a system of showing respect up and down the rank structure that has developed over centuries promoting good order and discipline in military forces.
In general you show respect by action and words to those superior in rank to you. In return they show respect for you by providing good leadership and management along with appropriate forms of address.
Peer to peer casual communication still exists. First names, nicknames, or last names are used among enlisted or officer personnel of the same rank when subordinates aren’t present. Of course racial, ethnic, or discriminatory language is prohibited.

To me not much different than if I wasn't in the military. If during duty hours, we would greet each other with, something like: Hey, what's happening and how have you been? Then followed by something like: let's get together after hours and wash down a couple and share war stories. If the idea of seeing the person afterwards is not something you or that person want to do, just end the conversation with something like, great seeing again. If the person out ranks, you I would keep the conversation formal.
