Don't do it. They'll call you at midnight on your first RAP and convert you to Short Call Reserve. If you commute, you'll get no sleep as you'll have to be on the first couple flights of the day to get to base to sit SC by noon. LCR is also call first. If you're on a four day block, and there's a late day local to DLH on the last day, it's assigned to you. You'll rarely get that nice 4 day someone calls in for. That'll go to a SC guy. The other days they can't switch you to SC, they'll use you anyway. So unless you live in a city with lots of flights between or within driving distance, I wouldn't try it. I tried LCR between DFW and IAH, and it was horrid. And that was a fairly easy and short commute!
