Sure, you can still kinda tell a military person is military out of uniform, but it's not a hard thing to disguise if they wanted to.
There's a passage in The Peshawar Lancers where the Sikh sergeant is part of a covert ops party, in which he is disguised as—a Sikh soldier, a role, the author observed, that he can play to perfection.

In some cases an Acting roll might also be needed. See for example Huckleberry Finn pretending to be a girl, and getting trapped when a woman tosses a spool of thread into his lap, because he claps his legs together to catch it, rather than spreading them apart. . . .
