I think they meant she graduated not "pass out". Whenever I hear some English phrases from the UK it reminds me of my trip there or the quote from Snatch when Denis Farina goes to London and says:
Speak English to me, Tony. I thought this country spawned the f*****g language, and so far nobody seems to speak it.

Or as Kipling said, “In England all men spoke one tongue, speciously like American to the ear, but on cross-examination unintelligible.”

Passing out is what the Brit refer to as graduation from Basic Training. Check out you tube, Pass Out Parade.
