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

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.
