This will probably depend on who you ask, but they're basically the same movement. Shoulder press is with dumbells, military press is with a barbell.

do both, i like them both but would perfer the shoulder press, it feels better and i almost got fucked up doin the military press, luckily there was somebody there to help me. shoulder press is done by sitting on a bench and lifting the bar above your head and back down pause at your chin and back up again. the military press is like the shoulder press only behind you head. i think anyways.?  | |

lol shoulder press or overhead press could be a ton of different things.
Military press is done standing with your feet at about a 45 degree angle like standing at attention.
I personally prefer standing overhead press, where you stand with your feet about should width apart and press the bar from your chest above your head.

I like arnold presses when you hold the dumbell to your chest palm in and then push up and twist the dumbell to a palm forward when extended.
