You must not have been a nuke. Lord knows how many times I have heard over the 2MC (or was it 7MC?? Good.. I forgot something!) on a drill.

I have never heard it called anything else. In Nuke school, which at the time was 637 biased, all the instructors would call it that. Seeing as I was on a 688 and that was what we called it, I figured that was the standard nomenclature for the thing.
