This press release just came out from Oklahoma DHS. Legit, people. Be nice to your kids or Angela will come after you.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Angela Schmidt may be one of the next reality TV stars. The Child Welfare Supervisor from southwest Oklahoma is a contestant on the program, “Ammo and Attitude,” airing on the Versus Network.

“Ammo and Attitude” is an outdoor reality TV program that bills itself as something of a cross between “Survivor” and “The Apprentice.” It features six women who compete in various outdoor disciplines, including hunting techniques and wilderness survival.

Schmidt grew up in Snyder, feeding cattle and chopping cotton on the family farm. She currently lives in Frederick with her husband and daughter, and has been with OKDHS for eight years. She has been a child welfare supervisor for four years.

“It’s kind of funny because people at work can’t grasp the fact that once I leave the office, I’m a totally different person,” Schmidt said. More than once, her colleagues have asked for photographic proof that she actually spends her weekends working cattle, hunting and fishing.

She says she submitted her application for the reality show because she wanted to continue to “challenge herself.”

That is also one of the reasons Schmidt was drawn to work in child welfare.
