It's probably not an explicit tradition, but rather good manners and good sense.
In much the same as you'd say "been good working for you, best of luck in your new job" when someone leaves your workplace. One never knows when one'll have to work with that person again, or will try to get a job for them - always a good idea to leave on a cordial setting.
Plus people in StarTrek are always exceptional, so it *would* be an honour to serve with them.

Personally, I think it's an old farewell saying between all servicemen (and servicewomen), regardless of what branch of service they're actually in.

Nine year military veteran. danellis has it right. It's not a set in stone tradition, just good manners. I said it often, not from any source of tradition, but from my heart.
