But among members of the military, the term "klick" is a standard measure of walked distances. If a soldier radios "We're 10 klicks south of your position," that means they are 10 kilometers away, or 6.2 miles away.
It also managed to find it's way into pipeline construction terminology.
With such weird descriptions as "60 klicks of half inch wall thickness 36" pipeline".
