I've  never been refused Communion at a Catholic  Mass.>>>>>>
 
I think the practice is allowing communion on a temporary basis, but
if long communication is anticipated, then enrollment in the RICA
Program of preparation for Confirmation is the norm.  The  Military
is a frequent exception to the normal rules.
 
I was staying at a hotel in Kronberg im Taunus (mountains) during
a vacation in Germany about 35 years ago, and it was convenient
to attend & communicate at a RC Mass at Saint Ursula's Church in 
nearby Oberusel im Taunus.  I knew the church was medieval, but 
to my surprise and delight, there was a "nodding choir.".  
 
A nodding choir is a church with the architectural choir on a  slightly
different axis than the rest of the church.  How appropriate for  a
communion of a medievalist!
 
However, I've known a great many choirs who have nodded off
during sermons.

wonderful villages of Germany.  The complete absence of  trash
and decay in the buildings should be noted.
