Only 23.6% of active-duty troops were "very favorable" toward Trump in late 2018, while 30.8% were "very unfavorable". 
The only branch of the military where Trump had a net favorable rating was the Marines. In all other branches, he had a net unfavorable rating.
Officers are more unfavorable toward Trump than enlisted members. But the numbers are more similar than before.
Note that this poll was taken when Mattis was still Secretary of Defense. Mattis was (and probably still is) enormously popular with the troops. He resigned shortly after this poll.
With the resignation of Mattis, the assignment of troops to the border, the military parade, and Trump's erratic behavior toward Iran, I would not be surprised to see Trump's approval among military servicemembers continue to decline.
