Heard that the Army has to let go of 40,000 troops and the civilian personnel will be downsized as well in the next few years. They are looking at releasing 17,000 civilian personnel. I wanted to know from my fellow airmen and those who work for the AF, are Air Force personnel safe for now?

Cuts will happen, but do you notice that basic training never slows down? They cut career military, and lose experience, to save money. Meanwhile the mission suffers...

No....you are always subject to rollback....which yet another reason why you do not want to remain stagnant in one rank for two long.....we have been moving more and more towards an up or out force over the last 10 years and if spending cuts continue so will this trend.

Sgt (Join to see), as everyone else has stated no one is safe when it comes to military cutbacks.
With that said, I hope I'm safe from being downsized! I work for a government contractor supporting the Air National Guard.

The USAF manpower office keeps the numbers dictated by Congress. I wouldn't expect any big cuts.
