No true reason we can't move to August recruitment, other than that we use grade cuts as a way to narrow down the large PNM pool (unless I'm forgetting something). But excluding that as an option...
Oct 21 party with post-Xmas: you then have 3 months between when PNMs first meet actives and they have to come back again. Definitely wasn't an ideal situation, and created many opportunities for dirty rushing.
Personally, I think the best option is to go back to the split of 21 pre-Xmas and the rest post-Xmas, but put 21 party the weekend (or 2, depending on football) before Thanksgiving that way you avoid the dead week issue.
