I don't understand your question. Military press is overhead press with a narrow feet stance (hence the name).

they're actually different..........
Overhead only goes alittle past the BACK SIDE of the head.
Military press you bring infront of you face all the way down to the bottom of your throat.
they're both sitting down
i prefer military press, more movement and isolation

Traditionally the military part refers to the position of the feet. Overtime the military press name has really evolved to an overhead press where the weight is brought to the top of the chest or in front of the body, or at least this is what most people refer to as a military press.
So what OH press do you not like? Barbell, dumbell, seated, standing, behind the neck?

Military press is an OH press, OH does not refer to the position of the bar in front or behind the neck, just that the press itself, is overhead.

I agree with coldfire.
That bastardization everyone refers to as a Military Press is exactly how he put it; a good example of bodybuilders turning exercises into crap.

Thats how I do it. ^^^^
Elbows forward, bar traveling in a straight line, squeeze and hold at the top then slowly lower it down to the top of the pecs. Tried and tested. Apart from side raises the OH press is the only direct shoulder exercise I do.

The link Wyrms posted is the way you should do it. That is one of the best upper body exercises in existence. Of course Oly lifts are better, but the majority of them usually start with the weight on the ground and end up being held over your head.

im a fan of olympic lifting, but doing them is antoher story lol
i dont like the fact your holding a 200lb bar over your/behind your head. doesnt seem so safe to me. i've seen many bbbing injuries but more olympic lifting injuries when lifting. (on youtube! lmao)
yeah i bet coldfire is gonna be like "tommy, you are a dumbfuck." then open a can of stevenhawking-lifting whoopass on me! ahaha im still pumped from my hst workout today thats why i sound so weird and energetic
