Here's how I think it works. When they build these bases, they don't start building in public view. They start in a remote area and slowly work there way over to where they want the base of operations to be. Of course, this process does take a very long time. As mentioned, secrecy is a must. Generally these bases are built in dark Government knowledge. Average politicians and low-level Military personnel are unaware of these bases. The funding for these bases are kept off the books, where the IRS won't find it. For all we know, there is probably another version of the IRS that is used for Military/Navy contracting that the mass public, president, prime ministers and popes are unaware of. How they keep this a secret, I don't know. But something like this would have to exist in order to keep these big projects a secret. Advance technology is also a must. Depending on how big they want the base to be, they may start drilling downward and across, from a wider distance. Eventually they will come to the location, in which the center of the base is going to situate. From there they build from the bottom and work there way up. Again, this takes a lot of time and must be done very slowly.

Building the base is just the first task. Keeping it a secret is much harder. If this under ground base is similar to Area-51/Dulce, it would require well over 1,000 employees to staff the operation. That's a lot of trustworthy people that would staff the base. But all know that 1,000 trustworthy people don't exist in this day and time. Here's how they keep it a secret. The people who staff these under ground base, are not allowed to leave the base. This is how they monitor where you are, what your doing and who your talking to. If everyone had normal day/night shifts like a hospital, the secrets within the base would hit the public within days, if not hours. Again, for bases like Area-51/Dulce, the staff records are kept off the books. Staff who work inside these bases know that they will spend at least 3 months if not half a year down in the depths of the base, before they are permitted to leave and visit their family/friends. Again, this is to protect the base's secrets. No outside contact is allowed once, inside the base. The only outside contact you get is through a commanding officer, that is permitted to import/export information to the appropriate clearance level. So yes, things like cell phone transmissions, internet transmissions are blocked or kept on strict watch by the Government. Chat sites, public email, text messaging and phone calls are blocked if not monitored at all times. So if you leak any crucial information of the existence of the base, they can choose to do whatever they so call choose to do with you. I'm sure most of you get the picture, by now.

Living conditions for the staff are probably comfortable. The military officials who operate these bases, care very deeply about the staff. Who wants to be in a dark boring places for half a year, without seeing daylight? That sounds a lot like prison. Knowing this, they probably design the base with a sizable entertainment area. Things like food, books, video games, board games and basic fundamentals of entertainment are probably given to the staff for free. Even marriage can be given while living inside the base. These are all things that are agreed upon when you work inside the base. So don't think that people are tricked into working here.

There is an underground base located near Brookings, Oregon. I stumbled onto this around 2004. I was raised by the Military and when I came across this Area I automatically knew there was something there, little clues such as no cell phone reception and no radio reception while traveling in these areas is always a pretty good clue that there is some sort of facility in, around or below the areas. So curiosity getting the best of me I traveled into the town close by stopped at their local library and used their computer to do a little research...and there it was an underground military facility was built right where I thought back in the 1940's-50's...So when people question that these places dont exist due to them or others not hearing
or seeing them being excavated or built its because alot of facilities be them above or below ground have been around for many, many years.

Do you have any specifics? Like the name of it? Year(s) it was built? Location?

Janet Airlines shuttles Area 51 staff weekly, from Las Vegas International to and from the base. This is a lot of "trustworthy" people keeping secrets and not confined to living their lives on the base.

There is an underground Titan Missile facility that was abandoned in 1965 about 2 miles from my town.
My Grandparents lived here since the 40's and my Mom graduated HS here in the late 60's. They never knew that complex was there, and I don't think most of the people that lived here at the time did either.
