6. OPR=Office of Primary Responsibility, I think

Meaning the AFPC is responsible for enforcing the change. Which would make sense. DPSOAE is probably the person running things there: Director, Personnel Services Something-Something.

If we could stay awake long enough to read the whole PDF, the definitions are probably buried in there somewhere.

I don't speak Air Force since I was in the Marine Corps, but the gobbledygook is about the same.

The great songwriter Tom T. Hall was in the Air Force. He had a funny story about how he had to send a message once, about a runway that was closed because of icing.

Hall said he spent a long time trying to word the thing in the usual military-speak: Due to excessively inclement weather...pursuant to Air Force Order #12345 pertaining to hazardous conditions...

Finally Hall got a headache and sent the message: The runway is closed.
