A friend of mine recently told me about talking to a colleague in the U.S. army who (most likely) did some work out at groom. The said individual borded Janet flights to groom, then was directed to another vehicle and driven to another site- apparently the drive time took longer than the flight (an hour, perhaps). The individual did some sort of computer or electronics maintenance at the site. Security was very compartmentalized- a security guard was required to do anything- the individual was locked in their workspace, and had to have security unlock the door and escort them to the bathroom. The individual mentioned that they were allowed to work there only a short time, and there seems to be an unspoken policy that once you have worked at the location and are finished with that job, you are not allowed to return for other projects. Interesting story, eh? I'm not sure if some of the details were brought up a few notches for the purposes of impressing me or not. The said individual is still working in some form of military training now. Sounds like another S-4 like story? Is the base at groom so large that it could take that long for someone to get to more remote areas of the campus? Is it possible they would fly someone in to groom and have them work at the test site so as to prevent all clues of where they were working? Of course, thanks to the compartmentalization of things, there is absolutely no clue what sort of outcome this individual's work was. It's encouraging to hear another story that seems to bolster the DET-3 security manual's credibility from another angle.
