Answer 1

lol the airforce is one the most valuable brances in the military it is more relevant than the army and marines besides their man power.

Answer 2

The Air Force was downsizing for the last few years, but Sec. of defence Gates has stopped it recently.  

Answer 3

yes. lol. its true

Answer 4

The Air Force has been cutting its numbers for a number of years primarily because the number of personnel needed in certain fields is shrinking. This has been a common trend throughout the history of airpower since World War II. The recent downsizing has been stopped so it can be reviewed by the Secretary of Defense.

Some professions are more stable than others, but their job security is on par with the Navy or Marines. Seeing the Army is a larger and more diverse service in requirements, there will be a little more job security there.
