"Nut to butt".

That was a term used in the Navy until women started filling the ranks more. I first heard it in boot camp when our company went to the galley at mealtime. A typical company has 70-80 guys and was given 15 minutes from the time the first guy stepped onto the tile area in front of the serving line to get food, sit, eat and get out. So, they packed everyone in as tightly as possible. "Nut to butt! Nut to butt!" 

Being one of the tallest in my company, we were always the last in line and last to sit because of how the company formed and fell out. Sometimes we'd get just a minute to sit down. We finished many meals scooping food into our mouths while moving in line with the company to turn our dirty trays into the scullery on the way out the door. There was a scene in some movie where a drill instructor is walking amongst his trainees eating as fast as they could, "Eat now, taste later!" That was my life in boot camp.
