I am pretty sure its not automatic, and by no means to SSgt., but look into the possibility your Corporal's Course might count toward the Army Warrior Leader Course required to make Sgt. Still a bitch to get promoted in the Guard, for 11B anyway, but hey it's a start. I know two guys in the NG that were told theirs would, both were prior 0311, now 11B. The only way I have seen E4 to E6 is to go OCS, and then it is for paygrade and your ID only, you dont go around saying "hi, I am SSgt Soupnuts" or wear the rank even. Good luck to ya.
