Go to the E5 promotion board and pass it. Have the necessary amount of points for promotion to E5. Included in the points count are your PT score, rifle qualification score, any skill badges you've earned, any correspondence courses you've done, any higher education you've done (whether during or prior to enlistment), any military schools you've attended and completed, etc. If you're in an MOS such as Infantry, where points for E5 are traditionally low, this isn't so hard to do. If you're in an MOS which isn't as fortunate, you'll have to be diligent about taking correspondence courses and such in order to make points. When I got pinned E5 as a 91B (which was Combat Medic under the old system, prior to the reorganization which came about from 2001 - 2004), the 11Bs only needed 320 points... I needed considerably more. I even had to take the same Combat Lifesaver Course which I taught to the battalion for the sake of making points, and going through and completing EIB testing (for which the points were counted, but I wasn't allowed to wear it, as I wasn't 11B, plus I already had an EFMB).
You do what you have to for the sake of making points.

Sergeant is the higher rank.
Corporal, a two-striper, but a corporal is an NCO like a sergeant, and a private is not. You "skipped" a rank! Private First Class is directly above a private

Neither. A Tech 5 was equivalent in pay to a Sergeant, but did not have a Sergeant's authority. The rank was done away with when it was replaced by the Specialist ranks, and there is currently no Tech 5/ Spec 5 rank - all Specialist ranks except for Specialist 4 have been done away with.
No. Corporal is a lower rank than Sergeant.
Sergeant is the higher rank.

In most armies, it's Sergeant. Some armies are structured a little different, though. For example, the Canadian Forces has a "Master Corporal" rank which is equivalent to a US Army Sergeant, while the French equivalent is "Corporal-Chef", which comes between Corporal and Sergeant.
Sergeant is the higher rank.
In the US Army, there's two ranks - Specialist, and Corporal. In the US Marines, it's just Corporal. The Specialist rank in the Army is not an NCO rank, whereas Corporal is.
Corporal (2 chevrons) is right below Sergeant (3 chevrons).
Corporal, a two-striper, but a corporal is an NCO like a sergeant, and a private is not. You "skipped" a rank! Private First Class is directly above a private
No, a Corporal (Corpal) is not considered a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) by the U.S. Army. In the Army, the NCO ranks start from Sergeant and above. A Corporal is an enlisted rank below the ranks of Sergeant.
A soldier that wears two stripes is a 'sergeant'.
Yes, its like how sergeant is a higher rank than corporal in military ranks.
Yes, by one rank up. Corporal is E-4 and Sergeant is E-5
