OVERVIEW:  A position is available for an administrative assistant, working for 
the Project Omicron Gravity Shield Advisory Group (POGSAG).  This group advises 
the Breakthrough Propulsion Program within the Marshall Space Flight Center, 
which in turn is part of NASA.  A successful applicant will be briefed on 
exactly what is going on almost daily.

The gravity shield program is an experiment to determine the feasibility of 
controlling and using gravity as a way to increase payload in space exploration 
missions for NASA.  This position is a VOLUNTEER non-paid position at this 
time.  Your expenses WILL NOT be recovered.  With successful mission completion 
of advisory to NASA, it is expected that the organization could become part of 
NASA directly, resulting in a career path in this brand new technology.  This 
position is expected to be cutting-edge, brand new and unique, much like the 
Manhattan Project was for nuclear weaponry.  There are, however, NO GUARANTEES. 
 It isn't known whether this work will pan out.  It isn't known if NASA will 
absorb our advisory group.  There are no guarantees.

DUTIES:  A successful applicant will report directly to the Advisory Group - 
most often to James Tracy, and to the advisory group.  You will also deal 
directly with NASA, and other institutions to support the goals of this 
program.  Some of the specific requirements include, but are not limited to, 
the following:

* Some background in physics.
* Some background in mathematics.
* Good computer skills.
  o Able to handle email.
  o Able to handle web site update.
  o Able to create working documents in a word processor.
  o Able to fax items as requested.
  o Able to receive faxes.
* Must have EXCELLENT telephone skills.
  o Courtesy.
  o Respect.
  o Politeness.
  o Able to pay for long distance calls since Project Omicron is a grassroots, 
shoestring operation with limited grant money at this time.
  o Able to handle telephone calls across the world where time differences may 
be a consideration.
* Able to write additional job descriptions as needed.
  o Able to procure additional specialists as directed.
* Willingness to follow directions explicitly and in a timely manner.
* Loyalty to the cause we are undertaking.
* Ability to understand and agree with the overall goals of this group.
* Ability to communicate effectively.
  o In print.
  o In person.
  o On the telephone.  ESPECIALLY!
  o Ability to communicate with experts:
    * Marshall Space Flight Center Chief Engineer (Ron Koczor).
    * Physicists.
    * Mathematicians
    * Geologists.
    * Meteorologists.
    * Other degreed professionals.
* Geographic location.
  o Proximity to Sacramento, California would be most helpful.
  o Proximity to Huntsville, Alabama, where Marshall Space Flight is located 
would be very useful.

CAVEAT:  This is an EXTREMELY speculative project, and so this position is 
unstable.  It is not known at this time, whether the gravity shielding 
experiment will be successful.  It is not known whether our assistance in this 
endeavor will be successful.  Even if successful, we don't know if NASA will 
even absorb this group into its organization.  Again, there are NO GUARANTEES 
as to what the future may hold.

PAYOFF:  Because this position is of a highly speculative nature, the outcome 
is not known.  However, if our work proves indispensable to NASA, and a brand 
new technology arises because of it, it is reasonable to assume that NASA would 
absorb our advisory group towards the goal of gravity control research.  You 
have the opportunity to take a gamble.  The gamble may, or may not, pay off.  
If it does, however, you'll be part of a cutting edge, brand-new technology.  
The rewards, at this point, would be incomprehensible!

APPLICATION PROCESS:  Please provide a cover letter explaining your overall 
interest in gravity control, along with a resume.  You may email it, or send it 
via postal mail to:

JAMES E. TRACY
Project Omicron

SELECTION PROCESS:  All applicants with the best match will be considered.  An 
applicant most closely matching our goals and intensions will be selected.  
Because the gravity shield experiment is due to be attempted soon, the 
selection process has no specific open or closing date at this time.  Most 
likely, an applicant will need to be selected by the end of May 2001 - but if 
the experiment is further postponed, this date may be pushed back a bit - which 
is most likely.

MANAGEMENT STYLE:  As the founder of Project Omicron, I've found that the best 
management style is one where those working towards our common goals are HAVING 
FUN!  I want people that work for me to ENJOY their work, find content and 
fulfillment.  Some management styles use intimidation, coercion and other 
negative methods.  My style is EXACTLY the opposite.  If you are selected, you 
can be sure to have a good time with your work, find it satisfying and feel 
like being part of something quite unique and even historic.  I hope you'll 
consider working for me!!!

WHAT TO EXPECT:  If selected, I'll need you to do things like FAX documents and 
follow up on the phone that a fax has arrived.  You'll probably do some 
graphics work and proofread some documents now and then.  I may have you call 
people to follow up on email or previous conversations, to ensure that a given 
task is being worked on or to find out if it's complete.

I get a lot of email from people with all sorts of theories and ideas, and I 
may ask you to briefly review their research papers to give me the "gist" of 
what they are offering.  I'll want to know if a particular individual is a 
serious candidate for assisting the Advisory Group, or if that person is not 
qualified.

As the date nears for the gravity shield experiments, things will heat up.  You 
may be speaking directly with the engineering staff at Marshall Space Flight 
Center and getting specific experiment numbers.  You will pass this data on to 
the groups' mathematician who will crunch the numbers.  He will report back to 
you and you will pass the numbers back to NASA for inclusion in the next round 
of experiments.  In short, you'll be a go-between at times to take the load off 
the group.  It may be useful for you to set up a web site to handle this task 
in a more automated way.

Your help will be INDISPENSABLE!  The mundane, boring work MUST be done, and is 
even the most important work at times.  If you can help take some of those 
tasks off the hands of the Advisory Group, we can, in turn, do what we do best 
and make the gravity shielding experiment a success.  If, and when, such is the 
case - physics will have taken a gigantic leap forward - and YOU will be part 
of that process.

Sincerely,

James E. Tracy
