And if you did not physically live in NY you are considered a non resident and none of the military income is subject to NY taxes even if the SLR is NY ... you should have stopped NY withholding when you were relocated to VA ... so file a non resident NY return and indicate none of the military pay is subject to NY taxes to get all of them back ... read the rules ... https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/file/military_page.htm
