weekend pass

Short military leave

A weekend pass is temporary authorized leave from a place that normally restricts departure—military bases, prisons, residential treatment facilities, or boarding schools.

The pass typically covers Friday evening through Sunday night, allowing someone to visit family or handle personal matters before returning: He got a weekend pass to attend his sister's wedding.
