"Out on a weekend pass" means that the soldier had permission to be away from his camp/base for the weekend. If a soldier leaves his camp/base without permission, it is called "absent without leave" or AWOL and is punishable as a military crime.

A weekend pass, was a formal written document which allowed a soldier to leave the military base or compound that they were asigned to. If a soldier were to leave the base without this "pass" (passport), they could be charged for desertion or post abandonment, and be imprisoned or reduced in rank.
