    During his hearing Monday, Black said he was invited to Russia by Aleksandra Vaschuk, and he went here to be with her, according to local Russian media.

    Dudes not getting bailed out by the military either, because he didn’t disclose the trip when taking leave.

    Even when he gets out of Russia, he’s gonna face UCMJ charges. He’ll likely get the boot without benefits, but might even end up having to do some time if they want to make an example
