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.
