Live the single life, in a cool domicile, crashpad, and address from your parents house. Travel around the system via basing, decide if it's the life for you. If so then decide where you want to live. Being JR means you will be worked like a hooker on Sat night, so you ain't gonna be eatin' Moms and Dads frees foods much anyway. Go for the fastest upgrade, and power through the pain of the regional experience as fast as possible. Trust me when you are living in HNL or MIA the parents will be coming to visit you, so you can live in paradise and eat Mom's home cooking on your back porch without risking frostbite.
P.S. Know why people pay $2000.00 for a studio in SFO? Because it ain't Dayton, or DTW or any other place where you can rent a $400.00 a month 2 bedroom bullet sponge. If you are gonna live in a place wher you might get shot, try Compton, at least you will be warm when you get hit.
