Military flying technique v Civilian PPL

In a discussion with an old knuck I learned that:
*PPL's fly box circuits - knucks fly downwind then turn at a constant rate onto final
*PPLs climb and then abruptly level off - whereas its a gradual curve for a knuck
*Knucks set cruise using attitude
*Knucks can also do things in the circuit a PPL cannot i.e. buzz and break
*For a knuck set 300 knots cruise means just that - not 299 knots or 301 knots
In what other ways are basic military flying techniques different from civilian?
Please... no smart arse replies...
