I'm a Army Reservist about to be activated on ADOS Orders for the next year. I'm 19 going on 20. My sister gets Married in October. Can I be denied leave to go to my sisters wedding? Or get denied leave for the holidays or to work on a civilian employment opportunity with the NYPD?

Damn- Yes you can be denied almost anything that interferes with the unit's readiness or training. Will it happen- depends on your unit. Your wants are not paramount to the unit, training so you will come home in one piece is.

You don't have to be given leave for anything. Mission and your chain of command will dictate whether or not you will be authorized leave.

Put in your leave request for your sister's wedding within the first week after your orders start, and STAY ON IT. It's been my experience, during my two mobilizations, that wherever you get attached to is not going to care about your personal needs at all.
As far as the holidays, if you're talking Thanksgiving or Christmas, it's rare that such leave would be denied, but due to operational constraints, it could be. Plan it out, and put your holiday leave in as soon as you know your timeframes.
As far as a civilian employment opportunity? Yeah, if I were a commander, even being a Reservist, unless it were at the very end of your orders, I'd deny it. You let them mobilize you, you need to concentrate on the job for which you were mobilized.
