With all of West problem popping lately (Wife DWI)

Some body help me find the answer please.

Allen West was found guilty of torture (1988 Reagan signed UN bill). In lieu of a Court Martial (2003) DOD- DOAI elected to go with a lesser prosecution al (Article 15 Trial).
From what I remember his sentence was:

Fine of $5000 over 2 months
temporary reassigned to another unit in back units
Resign his commission after 17 years of service
dismissed from Army
But he was able to keep his pension and retirement.

?If he had to resign his Commission why is he still using LTC Allen West as his title /name.

Is he legally entitled to keep using LTC?
