+Dave 2,322 Posted July 29, 2007 Does anyone here have a hidden talent? Mine for example is cooking. My mom was chef for a time and my dad is still a master BBQer. So I learned everything I could from them, as my wife can attest to. When we are stationed together I do all the cooking and BBQing. I have won several awards for my beercan chicken and brisket. What can any of you do? How did you get started? Has any of you turned your talents into your job? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HrntFixr 4 Posted July 29, 2007 hmmmmmmm??? I can cook.... haven't won any awards though. (but my expanding waistline can testify to it) I turned my military training into a very profitable career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DWCAce 19 Posted July 29, 2007 I guess mine would be aircraft recognition. I used to be tied for 19th in NIFA...probably would of broken into the top 10 if my team had competed the following year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk MMS 0 Posted July 29, 2007 Ever since I bought my house 4 years ago and went through the whole thing I would have to say home improvement. We went through the whole thing. I really love my miter saw and table saw On the side this year I have remodeled my inlaws home, redone their kitchen, wood flooring, electrical. Last time my mom asked my brother in law (who is a contractor) for some help with crown molding and some flooring my step-sister said, "Why don't you ask Todd he's so handy now..." What a piece of crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FOTF 0 Posted July 29, 2007 I have always been pretty handy with a wrench. When I was a kid, I helped my dad restore a Austin Healey Bugeye and a Corvette Stingray. Later, I became a mechanic. Then, I met a guy that owned a race team and I joined up as their chief mechanic. I could change a gear box on the car in under twenty minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted July 30, 2007 I have none. All my talents are displayed on the surface in plain view of all who look. If you can call it one, I have the ability to recall a song or movie line and relate it to pretty much anything anyone says. Sort of an odd photographic memory.

+Tailspin 3 Posted July 31, 2007 I'm pretty much a jack of all trades and certainly master of none. I can cook, fairly skilled at most home building trades, better than average at most sports I've tried, (of course I'm over 50 now so the games I play now have changed in nature) I used to work on my own cars...I know a little about a lot, I guess. The only thing I've ever won any awards/money at is bowling...pretty exciting, huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FastCargo 412 Posted August 1, 2007 Let's see... I can't dance, but I can fly a plane well...which frustrates the wife no end. I barely have the hand eye coordination to play sports, but can knock tin cans off a bench at 50 yards with a handgun. Can barely fix stuff around the house, but can rebuild almost everything tech based from PSPs to cars. FastCargo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
