Hi Gorilla,
You might want to do a little bit of a research on "Re-entry" permit. The simplest definition is
"If you are going to be out of the US for more than a year as a Legal Permanent Resident you need to apply for Re-Entry permit".
If you are planning on applying N400 in the future, the long break might have an impact...
Please read more on the subject...
Good luck in your endeavours....

Re-Entry Permit
Lawful Permanent Residents (green card holders) use re-entry permits to re-enter the U.S. after travel of one year or more. For LPR’s returning to the U.S., re-entry permits are generally valid for two years from the date of issuance of the re-entry permit. The LPR should apply for this benefit before leaving the U.S.
The Bureau does not extend re-entry permits. See Section 223 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Please note that a re-entry permit does not guarantee admission into the U.S. Aliens with re-entry permits are still subject to the inspection process at the port of entry. It is also important to note that travel outside of the U.S for more than one year will under most circumstances break the continuous residence requirement for later naturalization purposes. Travel for over 6 months may break the continuous residence requirement. See Section 316 (b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
