Post partum depression is a killer. I hope this helps others.

I know that it helps with a tremendous amount of different things. I hope it helps...it's not just a guy SPORT anymore

I hope it would to.. I had a demon I’ll
Call AMN Teufelhund: Amn Teufelhund came Into the Dining Hall like he owned it.
I think he seen someone of higher rank on a rant come and and asked for and got
A DH evaluation form. By Food Service
Manual ang Airman from AB to the highest General can fill one out and expect an answer.. Anyway, Amn Teufulhund is on a rant. A bad day on Flightline I surmised. Welll s’thing
Was eating at him.. Our DH was pretty clean and we had great workers, Military and Civilian. This guy comes in and asks for extra paper so he can do his rant. After the meal is over we go through his evaluation. And look at every spot he mentions and some he doesn’t.. we add
A counter-argument sheet disputing his claim and send it on to the base Cmdr.
Who went over it and our counter argument and sends one of his staff to come down and Inspect. The Captain agrees with our assessment. The Captain sends Amn Teufulhund back his
Evaluation with what he he found.. which was he agreed with our assessment. A week later it’s a different rant.. We had Airmen that competed in the Hennessy
Trophy competitionfor Tops in AF Food Service.. Their name tag noted they were on a winning team for Command level.. all our uniforms are sharp and clean. Our food is top shelf quality..
this Airman claims our cooks are out of uniform .. they also had chef jackets as authorized by Base Cmdr. (They couldn’t wear them outside the work area; the line, kitchen, back dock.. ) it seems he seen one getting in his car to go home.. he is married.. it happens s’times, the Airman drove straight home, didn’t go to the bx,
Gas station or Commissary.. He got really down on Base Cmdr! Said he was unauthorized to supercede uniform regulations even at a local level.. this guy sends it over the old man’s head to the TAC Cmdr who’s on our base also.. He wasn’t happy the TAC Cmdr came down on him.. and told him to leave the Cooks
ALONE !... He did for awhile.. I went to Base gym and took my grease pencil
The punch bag was well worn.. So I
Drew a face and labelled with Amn Teufdlhhnd’s name and proceeded to mbeat the rverloving c*** out of that ball.
When I was finished I cleaned off the grease pencil and took my gear and left..
I went back to Base gym a week later, they had a new punchbag up.. darn, I hoped to punch some more on the imaginary Amn Teufulhund. So I punched on the new bag but it just wasn’t
The same.. without the face and his name
On it. As I was leaving the coach gave me a shopping bag.. in it was the old punching bag. I had just the place for it!
We had a room with a rack to turn the the
Big mixer bowls over on and pressure clean them . The rack can come out.. I
Pulled it and hung the bag froma overhead hook.. now I or anyone else
Had to relieve some Pent-up pressure
Had a place to do it..! It lasted 6 months.. one of the guys had about enough malarkey out of a civilian contract
Employee. Excused himself and went back and took it out on the bag .. the
Employee saw it and went and told
Base Human relations he felt his life was threatened..! They sent some staff over.
I got wind of why and removed the bag..!
Where’s the punching bag? The evidence? What punching bag? We knew of no punching bag.... s’body spirited that bag off the installation
OSI even got involved..!the only punching bag we knew of was at the Base gym.. finally after a year the sitrep died., The contract employee left the job.. one of the guys that had previously worked with
The guy said the guy was still having ptsd
Over the punching bag incident ..
I left and got as far away as I could
I worked at restaurants in a tri- State area and even out west during tourist season..
It was hard to believe s’one so sensitive over a punching bag..! and it was all coincidence he saw that guy punchingng in the bag ...
