Drop-down fields based on checkbox

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

 

I have a checkbox and  3 drop-down list fields associated with it.

 

When the checkbox is unchecked I'd like for all 3 of the drop-down lists to be hidden.

 

Upon selection of the checkbox I'd like the first drop-down list to become visible.  When I select a dropdown list item in the first drop-down list I'd like for the second dropdown list to become visible.  When I select a drop-down list item in the second dropdown list I'd like for the third dropdown list to become visible.  The list of choices in each drop-down list is identical, allowing the evaluator to choose up to three separate applicant attributes in a given checkbox category. 

If I select the "blank" option in the first drop-down list item (in the case of editing) I'd like for the second and third drop-down lists to return to hidden status.

 

Thank you.
