Arquiette has just returned from a four-month deployment in Southwest Asia, where he helped coordinate the Air Force's air mobility, air drop, aeromedical evacuation and air refueling assets.

As for his time overseas, Arquiette said he is happy to be back at Travis.

Arquiette was asked about being promoted out of that rank after his term as Wing Commander expires in May.He said his future is still undetermined.
