Congratulations! A Corporal passes on orders that are given to him by his Sergeant or a higher ranking officer. In the absence of a Sergeant, the Corporal takes his place.

Your husband has been promoted to the first rank of NCO's in the military. He has been chosen to lead men (soldiers). CPL is his chance to on the job training, to learn how to lead. His leadership has recognized his potential to succeed at this.
Be proud. Before you know it, he'll be coming home complaining (or bragging) about the corporals he's leading.

CPL means that I want you to do an E5's job, but with E4 pay, no respect from anyone, and get stuck with all the gay work that they need NCO's for. Your husband is getting screwed. Have a good evening!

Corporal and those with the rank of private do the menial jobs in the military sector and being an NCO will mean that a soldier is already given supervisory responsibilities over subordinate soldiers.

Congratz to his promotion..though may not seem like one..he will get all the jobs and responsibilities of an E-5 Sargent, but will not get the pay. It's kind of like Sargent light =), he gets to try to prove himself worthy of being NCO material, without actaully being a full one. It will tough, but stick it out.

No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers. As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored corps, which is known as "The Backbone of the Army". I am proud of the Corps of Noncommissioned Officers and will at all times conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the Military Service and my country regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I will not use my grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety.
Competence is my watchword. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind -- accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my soldiers. I will strive to remain tactically and technically proficient. I am aware of my role as a Noncommissioned Officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role. All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my soldiers and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate consistently with my soldiers and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment.
Officers of my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and confidence as well as that of my soldiers. I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors, peers, and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of orders. I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals, Noncommissioned Officers, leaders!
