Why did some Navajo volunteers have difficulty gaining admission to the USMC?

The problem was that while they met every other standard for admission, many were not fluent in the English language. They had grown up in the isolation of the reservation and had little exposure to formal education. Most were required to take remedial classes in English before they could become code talkers.
