MPRR Clarifying

First off, sorry to make a thread for such a tiny question.

So what exactly does the medical section in the MPRR mean when it says Geographical, Occupational and Air Factor?

Here are mine

GEOGRAPHICAL: 2
OCCUPATIONAL: 2
AIR FACTOR: 5
 
G - Geographical Factor
This factor is based on the requirements for appropriate medical care, both in type and accessibility. It is graded from 1 to 6 with increasing numerical value indicating greater requirement for medical care. For example, G2 is applied when there is either no requirement for scheduled medical care, or, when a requirement does exist, that scheduled follow-up occur no more frequently than every 12 months; whereas, a G5 category indicates that the member requires regular specialist follow-up.

O -Occupational Factor

Occupation involves physical and mental activity and stress. Physical or mental disabilities can limit a member's capability and performance of duties. The occupational factor is graded from 1 to 6 with increasing numerical value indicating greater limitations in employment. For example, O2 indicates no limitations, whereas O4 indicates that a member could be fit only for clerical duties because they have a physical disability or have demonstrated a mental incapacity to accommodate to the more severe and prolonged stressful demands of a military operational environment.

A - Air Factor

The air factor identifies the functional relationships in respect of aircrew and passengers and is graded from 1 to 7. A1 to A4 are aircrew factors and define the duties which a member can perform and specify limitations as to type of aircraft. A5 is assigned to non-aircrew who are medically fit to fly as passengers in CF aircraft. A6 is assigned to members who are medically unfit to fly in any capacity, while A7 is assigned to aircrew who are medically unfit for any flight duty but may still fly as passengers.

G2 O2 A5 = 90% of members (ballpark)

All Aircrew personnel (Pilots, ATC, Navs, AESOP, Flight Engineer, etc) have something different than A5.  That, I think, is more than 10% right there.
 
While on the subject of MPRR, does anyone know what CFA AA Spanish/Castillian means? Aparently it was a course I took a number of years ago but for the life of me do not remember it nor do I know what it was.

Looks like you took a Foreign Language course....
 
Never took any language courses. I have a coworker who has the exact same thing on his, he didnt take any language courses either.  We are both at a loss, I have checked with the Wing Orderly room on two bases and my Sqn Orderly Room as well, the numerical code associated with it could not be found either.
 
If you have an entry on your MPRR for a qual you did not do, then go to your OR and have it removed in HRMS.  As for the Med Cat, the numbers go from 1 to 5.  1 being perfect and 5 being the worst, except in the case of the (A) where it will be a 5 for anyone not in an aircrew position. 
 
You probably had a similiar experience as many stokers. We used to have an old analogue machine for doing vibration analysis on shipboard machinery. When this was all replaced when the entire Health Monitoring system was revamped, the course code was 're-used' for something called 'Digital reimaging'. You can have a clerk remove it (personally, I had that done 3 times) but it shows up again months later. Any stokers, electricians, NWTs (others too) who took the old VA course now have this unique qual!
 
Is there two MPRR's versions one from EMAA and one from Peoplesoft? 
 
Shouldn't be. EMAA should be getting its information from Peoplesoft. However, I don't think it's a real-time link, I think it syncs up on a periodic basis to update any changes made. If there's a discrepancy, I'd suggest waiting a day or two before declaring shenanigans.

EMMA gets it's info from HRMS.  Changes made in HRMS will usually show up in EMMA the next day.
 
Really?  I have never seen anyone with it and was told it was reserved for Astronauts.

I recall hearing that one had to be "greater than perfect" (don't actually recall 'astronaut' being used though) in describing G1 O1 ... given that G2 O2 reads like "normal":

G2: G2 is applied when there is either no requirement for scheduled medical care, or, when a requirement does exist, that scheduled follow-up occur no more frequently than every 12 months; and

O2: O2 indicates no limitations.

The above 2 certainly sound normal to me. Seems to me that I've never had a troop work for me yet who held a G1 O1, nor have I ever held such ... but heck - we're suppies, not astronauts - perhaps that had something to do with it.
 
Oh lookie here ... from the Medical Standards (CFP 154) itself

Geographical Factors

G1 - assigned to the member who has successfully passed the stringent medical requirements for such unique duty as astronaut training;

G2 - assigned to the member:

a.who has no geographical limitations due to a medical condition; and

b.who is considered healthy and, at most, requires only routine, periodic or scheduled medical services no more frequently than every twelve (12) months (see definitions in Chapter 2, 4.c.).

Occupational Factors

O1 - assigned to those rare members who have successfully completed medical screening for such unique duties as astronaut training.

O2 - assigned to the member who has no employment limitations of a medical nature

O3 - assigned to the member who has some specific employment limitation(s) which can be clearly and specifically detailed, and which prevent the member from fully meeting the Generic or the MOC task statements.
