Putting mil leave on your schedule ahead of the monthly bids will reduce your ALV window by a proportionate amount. This can be either a positive or negative depending on your objective. If you want a full schedule, bid for days off when you need to fly for ANG/Reserve. Seniority doesn't usually allow for weekends off during probation, so I would often put drill weekend for mil leave, then get the remaining ANG flying on my days off from Delta.
