You can from what I understand, but it doesn’t happen that way. You’ll get promoted to SPC first, then if a 4187 is signed and approved you can get the lateral promotion to CPL. It all depends on your command, and if there is a need for an E4 leadership position.

You would have to be promoted to E4, Specialist first. Then you would have to be slotted in an E5 slot against your units TDA. If you are not in an E5 position you won’t be able to receive Corporal.

It's technically an up and over promotion. You have to be promoted to SPC and on the same day get a lateral promotion to CPL
