Any ideas of the origin of the word "voluntold?" I wonder if this is of military origin. I keep hearing this at a non-profit where people get voluntold for jobs all the time. Any clues?

Wow, bribri9, I wasn't familiar with this word before you brought it up, but I'm going to start using it immediately. What a great word!
