So as a retiring military guy with offers at both (but can't start until January)...

My main focus is time at home, but when I am working, I don't mind working. At first it will be a two-hop commute to either coast (OAK or EWR), but after about 4-6 months, I'll be moving to within a 3 hour drive of ORD/MDW for family reasons. I know not close enough to sit short call, but close enough to pick up pop-up trips with reasonable notice.

With a 20-year horizon and a pension as a backstop, does this change the calculus any?
