Kristian Saucier, of Arlington, Vermont, was sentenced Friday in federal court in Bridgeport.
Saucier pleaded guilty in May to unauthorized detention of defence information.
He also must serve six months of home confinement.
Saucier compared his case to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state. The FBI declined to charge Clinton for her handling of classified information while using the server.
