Conclusion
Fin De Contrat - Chapter 6

Your last week in the Legion is spent in Aubagne completing the final clearance phase of departure. You'll undergo a final medical exam, have your identity re-established if you had your name changed and was not yet changed back, and be given paperwork as proof of your passage through the Legion. A free train ticket to anywhere in France will be issued to you. On the final day there is a small ceremony for those leaving and everyone is addressed by the Commandant of the Legion. The Commandant is a general in charge of the entire Legion.

Conclusion
