That's 2 years of training. So over the next 8 years the character managed to deploy 6 times and fit in time for additional and required training?

I was thinking about this as well. What I think is a more realistic background is that she was originally attached to US Army Special Forces fairly early on as a member of a Cultural Support Team. At that point she could have been tapped by the ISA(Intelligence Support Activity) instead of Delta Force. While they are more spies than soldiers, they are similarly elite, and women have been serving with it for decades.
The first woman in regular US Army Special Forces actually graduated from the Q-course in 2020, but there aren't any in the SEALs.
