This appears to be Fake News.

President Trump restored his rank, but the navy still gets to decide if he can be a SEAL.

As a 32 year retiree and knowing very little about the specifics here - I tend to agree with you. There are a lot of people weighing in here who don't know how all of this works. The POTUS doesn't get to decide who gets to be a SEAL - nor should he. I wouldn't want Obama or Hillary deciding that.

A staff review is in order for Gallagher. There still is some question of his suitability for any particular assignment that needs to be resolved, regardless of his pardon.

Exactly. The Admiral's actions and statements do not countermand the president's grant of executive clemency.
