I attended a burial in 2015 of a family member (a colonel's wife) at Arlington. The widower does not fit your description of those being buried there either. However, the wait time for being buried was about 3 months from date of death because of backlog.

All deceased on active duty are entitled to burial at Arlington. Also they allowed all ashes to be interred at a columbarium if they meet this criteria:

"Any member of the Armed Forces who dies on active duty Any former member of the armed forces who served on active duty (other than for training) and whose last service ended honorably..."
