Being junior just inherently sucks - unless you just move to your initial base. Even if you live in an NK base, you are unlikely to get it right out of training after the long training stoppage - at least until a few more vacancy bids have gone by. So you either commute to reserve - because reserve is all you can hold anywhere - or you uproot and move your family to a place you can then take reserve from home to avoid 4-5 months commuting to reserve.
The real problem’s just being junior, and everyone starts that way.
