Mahal draft timeline?

I want to draft this August. From looking online, I know the general timeline of the Mahal process -- apply and have documents together 3-4 months in advance, be in Israel ~2 months in advance, etc. My question is, is recruitment throughout August? At the beginning? At the end? I just want to know more exactly when I would need to be arriving in Israel (beginning of June? end of June?) because the answer will affect plans I'm making right now. I assume it depends on your dates for the interview or for tzav rishon, but I was hoping someone could give me a ballpark. Thank you and I hope it isn't a silly question.

edit: I will have to go to michve and I hope to go to combat.
