If you are not filing a joint return, it doesn't make any difference whether she is listed as in the military or not. 

In fact, if you are filing as Single, her information would not be listed anywhere on your return. If you are filing as Married, Filing Separately, the interview should only ask for her name and SSN, not about her occupation and military status.
