This thread was LOCKED. How do I post in a locked thread? Well here is where you realize it was locked and say something like "if it's locked then it has all the information you need". No, my questions were not answered there. Excuse me if I'm the type of person who asks for the information I need to do the best job possible rather than guessing and assuming, I should have realized the CF doesn't want people who follow instructions that say "follow these instructions to the letter". Anyway, I can see that this is going to turn into a flame-out where everyone will pile on because a senior member dismissed my question so I'll be quiet and let you do what you will with my post.
Just go to this site and read http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/menu/pd/bic-cib/index-eng.asp#Ad
