i.e. that Bodie would far rather be out and about on manouevres or whatever it is the SAS do. (Sorry can't spell that word but if I go and look for the correct spelling I'll lose this.)

Sorry, I left off the important bit! That maybe Bodie's more relaxed now because he's out and about and away from the eyes of the instructors etc - he's doing what he does best. And I've just remembered, *that's* the observation I'm sure Cowley made but I can't find it!
