Kilo estimate?

I was flying DVT-SEE a few days ago and heard LA center talking with a few different military guys. They would ask them what their "kilo estimate" was. Any of your former military types know what this is?

Approximately how many kilos of cocaine they've managed to consume on the return trip. Oh wait, you said military pilots not NASA guys.

Is there a fix around there called "Kilo?" If so, then center wanted to know what time estimate they would cross it.

KILO has a tactical meaning, but I don't think that is anything you would have heard over VHF or to civilian controllers
