There are very few ways to gain a higher paygrade upon enlistment at this time: JROTC, Eagle Scouts, College degrees. These pretty much some them up. Should there be options where certain technical certifications should grant advanced rank as long as it deals in part with the MOS that one is enlisting into? For example, if a person holds mechanic certicications, should they gain rank for that MOS?

There already is. Your idea has been implemented for a long while, it's called the Army Civilian Aquired Skills Program.

When I can in, there was the "pre-basic training checklist", that allowed me to get up to E2. And then a recruitment referral allowed me to get E3.

Going on line early before going to basic or AIT and taking basic courses for that MOS to gain knowledge! getting the online part certification of BASIC or AIT just like NCOES

That would be perfect. Perhaps being issued a login for DKO or something after seeing a recruiter and being assigned your MOS. Something kind of formatted like the SSD courses for the Army.
