Are there any military programs similar to ROTC that allow you to graduate as a sergeant instead of a 2nd Lt?

There is no way to enter any military service as a Non-Commisioned Officer (NCO) or Senior Non-Commisioned Officer (SNCO). If you participate in a Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, some branches of service allow entrance as paygrade E-3 or E-4 for the Marines. An E-4 is one paygrade (promotion) from a sergeant.

Whose NCO traditions did the Colonial Americans adopt?

The British military system served as a model for our Army, but the origin of the Non-Commisioned Officer (NCO) in America's Continental Army came about through a combination of ideas. The American Army blended traditions of the British, French and Prussian armies into a configuration which became an American institution. A non-commissioned officer (called a sub-officer in some countries) is a military officer who has not been given a commission.
