Helen,
Being how a lot of people currently serving in the military grew up as
military brats themselves (travelling all-over), and since no-one
mentioned this before, I just wanted to point you to the following with
regard to the US citizenship of your child:
TRANSMITTING U.S. CITIZENSHIP
A child born outside the United States on or after November 14, 1986, of
one American and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth if
the American parent has been physically present in the United States
prior to the birth of the child for a minimum period of five years, at
least two of which were after that parent's fourteenth birthday.
