It depends. If you are stationed in NY but your SLR is not NY, the answer to this question is no, you will not need to file a NY return. (You would need to see the specific rules on your SLR).
However, if your SLR is NY, but you are "maintaining a domicile" outside of NY, do not maintain a domicile in NY, and have been physically present in NY for less than 30 days, then you are not taxed on your income but probably want to file a NY return even though you are not taxed on the income. For this you actually will file a NY nonresident (not a resident) return, as this is how NY considers your residency. During that return, notice the screenshots below that will ensure that your income is not taxable in NY:
