If he served anywhere, it sure appears to have been time in jail.

Actually, if you click through to the link, than then the "record removal" at the top right:

https://florida.arrests.org/remove/?id=3040590

You'll see that the record was sealed or expunged.

I don't know the reliability of the record removal request. This isn't an official source of data. Their own disclaimer says:

Don't mistake this as a defense of the guy. I just don't think he should be unjustly accused, especially if the arrest itself was some kind of mistake.

Well, I tried to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. But, I was wrong. From a link someone just posted:

Florida's Lee County court records show Thorsen was arrested in December 2004 for burglary, grand theft of a firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon. He was sentenced in July 2005 to 30 months probation and 120 hours of community service. He broke his probation twice and was held in custody both times. But according to his lawyer, Jean-Paul Galasso, the fact that he received probation for serious-sounding felony charges suggests a less severe set of events. "Generally if someone's not going to prison for burglary of a dwelling there's real extenuating circumstances, like it's probably just a trespass or whatever." The court granted an early termination of his probation in March 2007 because, according to Galasso, Thorsen promised to reenlist. "That's what he had said to the judge, yes," Galasso says.

The article claims that he is a felon. But, 30 months of probation and 3 weeks of community service sounds like it was at least pled down to a misdemeanor. If it was indeed a felony, would he have been able to re-enlist?
