I am an old Infantryman and Aviator. And I have been out a long time,
but I STILL use many of the "pro-words"...
Especially, I spell, phonetic alphabet, at al....
I use "say again <optional>" in conversation without thinking.... Hey,
it works.

Also true in U.S. Army radiotelephone procedure, at least how we
operated in the Signal Corps in the '70s and '80s when I was in. Never
heard or was taught 'words twice'. One would realize (with experience)
when key parts of the transmission should be said twice due to noise
or other difficulty with the channel, usually because of being asked
to 'say again' a few times.
Asking for a retransmission:
'say again your last transmission'
'say again all after'
'say again all before'
The response would be:
'I say again ...'
There is also 'I spell', when the word(s) weren't being received
correctly.
This was published in 'Allied Communications Pub 125: Communications
Instructions -- Radiotelephone Procedures' (ACP 125), so these
procedures should be somewhat standardized across NATO forces.
