Fast forward to NC, AL, MD, and FL-- hugging the Pastor was awkward and hugging the Pastor's wife was simply unacceptable. There was a vibe or something that they put off that let you know, this far but no further.
I went to visit my last Pastor and hugging him was not awkward-- but now I'm not a member there. I still miss him.
The other Apostolic churches I've attended hugging of the Pastor or his wife just didn't happen, to include my Dad's church.

Who was your pastor when you attended in Okinawa?
