The pardon power in the U.S. Constitution was left vague and is subject to judicial "gloss", (interpretation). Without doing any research, I think the pardon protects someone from further criminal prosecutions, BUT accepting that pardon can be considered an admission of guilt. If he is retired, Trump may be able to recall him to active duty to demote him in rank as CIC for insubordination.
