Really? I got that name from bbing magazines, and also I'm pretty sure (although I can't check my copy because it's back in Canada) that the exercise is listed as seated military press in Arnold's encyclopedia of modern bbing...hang on, just checked a few flex's I do have here and it lists the exercise as "seated barbell press". I've heard it called both and also I've heard the exercise you're describing called "
standing military press". Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if you're right in terms of terminology. Hang on...ok august 02 flex magazine, article "power of the press", describes all the different overhead pressing exercises. #1 on their list is "Military Presses". The text reads: "This is the king of shoulder exercises. It is deceptively as simple as pushing a barbell from the front of your shoulders to an arms-overhead postion.
Militaries can be performed from either a standing or seated position" (p.234). Also, from my own experience I've heard a lot of people call it seated military press. Sorry this ended up being so long.

not sure if any of this is definitive...
