Can the commander in chief override operational policy and procedure

A navy seal did horrible things (or was convicted of them, at least) and lost his rank and insignia. The commander in chief wants him re instated, but at what point does his ability to pardon a conviction, extend to over riding the organizational policies and procedures of the commanders under his authority?

If the convicted person were a civilian who had commited embezzlement against his employer, a pardon wouldnt mean the employer had to rehire the emloyee. Is the millitary different, or do the convicted persons peers/direct command have a right to decide who they want to work alongside?

The good news out of this is at least the military won't follow him blindly.
