I'm in the Army. I've met a few people who enlisted through the MAVNI program and they are very outstanding Americans. One guy I met, had two masters degrees (this is crazy for someone who's enlisted), one in CS and another in engineering. Most of the people I met coming in through MAVNI already had good English, like you mentioned if they do not... Another guy was from Mexico and barely had a grasp of English. Graduates of basic training who have this issue get sent to Texas to attend a language school, though.
