As long as you keep your green card, you will be able to become a citizen (take a look at the N-400 form and material on the USCIS website, it spells out the requirements for citizenship). Prolonged trips (i.e. >6 months) outside the United States can be interpreted as abandonment of permenant residence and thus can result in loss of your greencard, this is typically determined by the inspection officer at the port of entry.

There is a re-entry permit that i think let's you stay out of the country 1-2 years continously.

NOT TRUE. Howver there is a time limit of how long you canstay outside of the US since the green card us issued to work and live here...
