Former military, but wasn't in last year. What to put for "Where were you stationed"?

Should I even be seeing this question?

When it asks "I am a member or former member of the U.S. Armed Forces (active, reserve or National Guard).", should I select "no" since I wasn't in at any point in 2018?

I answered yes because I got out of the USMC in 2017, but then it asks me "where were you stationed" later in the process... I wasn't stationed anywhere in 2018!

Please help.

The question refers to whether you were a military member at any point in 2018.  If not, the you should answer "no". 

Please note: Everyone is asked this question by the program.  And "Thank you" for your service.
