Well, for starters, this force, as it stands, is simply too large for your nation. While up to 2% of the population is accepted, that only holds for smaller nations. You should really have less than 1% of your population in the active military (all branches combined). At present, I estimate about 2 million navy and 20 million air force, based on numbers of equipment provided. As that stands, you have a 56 million man standing army. This is 2.23% of your population, and far too much. The reserves are about right, but the active force really should be toned down. My suggestion is to cut about 50% of the army personnel, drop 3/4 of the air force, and keep the navy the same.
Now, that would be optimal, but if you don't want to go that far, you should at least shave off 20 million personnel (say, cut 10 million off the army and cut the air force in half). If you have any more, you need to show some serious problems somewhere. Either maintenance, training, or economic troubles, but there should be something.

Thanks, thats all I needed to know this is only a draft anyhow.

Ok, heres what I did,

- I took 10,300,000 off the army (5 from the frontline and Logisitcs each, and 300,000 from the engineer corps)

- I halved the airforce with types of aircraft I was using rather a lot of. I left bombers mostly the same though.

Is that ok? Or should I cut more off...

You can get by with that, though I might RP some problems related to an oversized military somewhere, as I'm still counting 35 million active personnel. At some point, I would think about relegating more of those to the reserves and a national guard type force. My military, for example, has only 18 million active troops (0.38% of population), but is triple that when you factor in reserves and national guard.

In that case I'll make a few more cuts...
