USAF F-15 and F-16 starting 2002 and ending 2015.
USN F/A-18 2010 (once only, hence my willingness to stand corrected).
The Air Force doesn't use 'Eject' because it doesn't want confusion on the ground when 'Egress' is called. I believe they moved that model in the 1980s when an F-4 A/C called "Egress!" during a ground emergency, but the back seater heard "Eject" and pulled the handles. Sadly, the pilot had already started to unstrap and did not survive the ejection.
