Subscribing members of the Nexus have continuous access to its resources. The value of training is much greater if the student can retain the information with a high level of proficiency. Skillsets that are not utilized and practiced daily will consistently diminish. These skillsets are often those that are necessary in an immediate manner within a critical situation.
