Very similar for the Marines. We do allow some that don't have a HS diploma, but they have to have a GED, and even those numbers are small (I can get them if anyone's really interested).

As for language - same/same. You have to speak Engrish to join, and all schools are taught in Engrish. No $$$ (or personnel) for translators here, either.
