Odds of her being killed in the Navy as a female are pretty low, I'd guess not much higher (or maybe even lower) than the general population. Incidents like the USS Stark or Cole are not common. Accidents happen of course, but as they say they can happen anywhere. Its not like shes joining the SEALS.
That being said I don't think shes coming back. This is not the foundation of a solid relationship.
I've been with my wife since she was 18 and we had several times where we were long distance or had the potential of being long distance, but never had an issue. If she would have sprung on me, "I don't know how to tell you this but I've made a life changing decision for both of us without telling you and made a 2 year commitment that could put me anywhere in the world, but I knew you wouldn't approve or understand so I neglected to mention it despite our 7-9 hour phone conversations." things wouldn't have gone as smoothly.
