OPINION
NAJAM, Judge.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
William T. Calvert appeals his conviction for illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor, a Class C misdemeanor, following a bench trial. Calvert presents two issues for our review:
1. Whether the trial court erred when it tried him in absentia while he was on active duty with the United States Army in Afghanistan.
