Military / Defense
French term or phrase: Feuille de congé illimité
Could anyone help me urgently with this term, which is the heading on a certificate for the end of military service? Does it mean "Indefinite leave slip" or could it mean something like "Certificate of Discharge?"

Thank you very much

I think 'Discharge Certificate is ' Feuille de congé absolu' in French.
