Re: New passport for new family member...
if it comes to that, at 18, I believ he could chose his citizenship from US or U.K. as is best at the time. At this rate who knows what will be best, but at least he’ll have options, which is all I want for him at this stage

Thanks, understood, as per all US born citizens I suppose. From what I read it’s never been called up in the last few decades.

He has both now and will continue to do so for life unless he explicitly renounces one which is an expensive and bureaucratic process. Obtaining a British passport now will make it easier to obtain one in the future. Not doing so in order to somehow make it easier to avoid the non-existent chance that the UK will reintroduce compulsory military service in the future is simply not credible.
go a couple of copies of his birth certificate coming now. Will apply for US passport as soon as we can get an appointment organised, so US passport first so he can travel and then the U.K. parts afterwards.
his vaccinations are in 1 month so hope to be awaiting the US passport while that is done and we’ll fly a month or two afterwards.
