If the Army did not prosecute the burglary charge and transferred it to civilian courts, you answered your own question. Of course he'll then face charges in civilian court. But the Army can separately punish violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which includes such non-civilian charges like honor violations, conduct unbecoming a solider, etc. So the discharge was under the UCMJ, totally separate from civilian law.

If the military court addresses the crime and he pays his sentence there, the matter doesnn't go to civillian court.
EDIT:
Then yes. Double Jeopardy means one or the other gets a crack at you. Not both. The military passed. The civvies didn't.

I believe you can be charged by the military and by the civilian court both.

It's not double jeapordy...he committed a crime and the civis can prosecute..and since he is property he may face the same charge if the circumstances warrant it.

There's no sense in getting two sentences for one crime. Of course ,not. It would be ridiculous. I'm not an American ,but I can ensure you ,without even being familiar with your law ,that your friend won't be sentenced two times for one crime...
It's senseless
