I'm in that area and I commute to Pearl Harbor. I leave around 5 AM (5:20AM at the latest) to avoid majority of the morning traffic. That takes less than 20-30 minutes on a regular day. Going home around 3:00 might take about 30-45 minutes on a regular day.

Just an FYI, traffic into and out of the main gates to Hickam or Pearl Harbor can take a bit, especially in the afternoon rush out. Of course this is assuming normal work hours (6AM -3:30PM).

Mililani is great community (I'm biased though because I was raised there). It's got majority of shops and a small group of restaurants but is still a short drive to other nearby areas if needed (like Kapolei). If you're looking towards that area you may also want to consider Waipio Gentry or Waikele. I wouldn't go anywhere past that though as traffic is KILLER.
