Yes. The statute of limitations for court-martial is five years from the date of offense. There is no double jeopardy between a state and UCMJ (federal) prosecution. Usually though the unit will not prosecute, but rather they may take administrative action for a discharge based on a civilian conviction/serious offense. That's because they have to get Secretarial permission to prosecute at court-martial where there has been a civilian conviction.
