During a MARS net the NCS says "out" to a check in when they are done 
talking to that check in .  Then they immediately continue with the next 
QNI.  "Out" means they are done talking to that person only and for that 
instant only.  It does not mean that check in is allowed to leave the 
net.  "Over" means back to the other person for continued comms.

If you used "over and out" during a military net no one would understand 
which you mean.
