E3: Probably good for a few more years, possibly enough to see you 'til retirement. Certainly up until a couple of years ago there were regular detachments - including to civilized parts of the world, not just the middle east. The flying is a bit boring though. And, being at Waddo (if that's really where you want to be), you could look to move types and remain located there in the future. As and when RJ gets fully operational I'm sure they'll be busy too.
Not sure what life is like there ('XW) at the moment, many of the people I know/knew have left (and are happy to have done so), or are looking to do so.
Lots of nice villages to the South along the ridge; if it's a factor a lot of the schools are good too.
