The Guard is part time. You are obligated to attend drills and other training days by law. You go to school on weekdays while drills are on weekends.
Yes, very recently National Guard from Mass. were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan
You perform your duties, attend classes, assigned a detail, generate reports and perform whatever is on the training schedule for that period.
As a National Guardsman deployed to a combat zone, you perform the same duties as Active Duty forces, thus the risk level is the same.
The National Guard performs many functions and members can perform duties under either Title 32 or Title 10. Additionally, a member can perform duties for their state which would not be under either Title 32 or Title 10; an example of this latter status would be a Guardsman who was part of the state's response to a natural disaster. To answer the question, one would have to look at the member's orders. A National Guard member will only be in a Title 10 status if they are serving under Active Duty orders. When a National Guard member is performing duties as part of their yearly federal training requirements, they are in a Title 32 status.
Perform you're duties well, pass afpt, and shooting tests, and attend as many schools as possible and have an excellent attendance record.

The Coast Guard is a fully federal force, assigned with the enforcement of maritime law and security. The National Guard is a partially state organized force (although ultimate authority rests with the federal government), and is a reserve component of both the Army (Army National Guard) and Air Force (Air National Guard). When called to active duty by the state, they are considered an "organised militia", and can be used to perform law enforcement duties. However, when activated by the federal government, they are considered federal soldiers, and cannot be used in such a role.
