During which phase of training are soldiers allowed to wear civilian clothes when on pass?

Soldiers are allowed to wear civilian clothes during Phase 5 of training. This phase typically occurs toward the end of a soldier's training period, often signifying their advancement and readiness for operational duties or integration into a unit. Allowing soldiers to wear civilian attire during this phase serves as an incentive and recognizes their accomplishments throughout the training process. It also helps to foster a sense of normalcy and personal expression for soldiers transitioning into a more independent role.

In earlier phases, such as Phase 1 and Phase 3, the emphasis is on establishing discipline, uniformity, and integration into military life, which generally requires soldiers to wear their military uniforms. Thus, wearing civilian clothes is not permitted until they reach the more advanced stage of Phase 5.
