I do not see a requirement for taxpayer military service. According to the Arizona Revised Statutes as extracted below, the pay just has to be military retirement pay.
Benefits, annuities and pensions received as retired or retainer pay of the uniformed services of the United States in amounts as follows:
(a) For taxable years through December 31, 2018, an amount totaling not more than $2,500.
(b) For taxable years beginning from and after December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2020, an amount totaling not more than $3,500.
(c) For taxable years beginning from and after December 31, 2020, the full amount received.
