The state can request and exception if they can prove his work for the state is essential.

Hawkeye has it correct; the only individuals that the state can prevent from deploying would be essential to the operation of the state (say the Governor, State Attorney General, etc.). Since the National Guard soldiers work for the Governor, his/her office can intercede on the part of the State to prevent the deployment, but this would be rare.
If an individual's supervisory chain of command was placing undue pressure on a guard soldier to intimidate that individual into not deploying, then the soldier should report this to the state Inspector General who will investigate the incident and report the findings to the state's Commanding General and the Governor's office for information purposes.
Deployed soldiers' civilian jobs are protected by federal law and must be made available to the individual upon thier redeployment.

You mean you work for the state, but you're in the national guard and want to deploy? I don't think anyone will try and stop you. I don't know much about the NG, but I would guess it's ultimately up to the governor. It would be more clear cut if you were in the reserves, because then it would be between federal and state government, and federal would win.
Your employer cannot, in any way, punish you for deloying. There are laws against it. I'm pretty sure they have to keep your specific position open for you upon your return.

The only way your employer would know you volunteered is if you told them - your deployment orders wont mention that.
Unless your employer declares you to be a key/essential personnel (only governments can do so I believe) they cannot stop you from deploying. If they try to make your life difficult, or fire you over it, you have recourse - contact your state ESGR (Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve).

Nobody's going to think ill of you for volunteering for deployment. One of my buddies just did it. Talk to both your CoC and the people in the deploying unit. Most importantly, the deploying unit. If they've got a slot they need to fill, they'll make it happen. This won't get you out of deploying with your own unit, though. Be prepared to go with both if you volunteer.

Volunteer?--If his unit goes he goes and his job has to be there when he comes back. It's the law.

no the state cannot stop a soldier from volunteering, if he said they did he's lying
