BATON ROUGE — WBRZ 2une-In's Mia Monet reported to duty for basic training with the Marines at Baton Rouge's Independence Park to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps.

"I couldn't think of a better way to honor the Marine Corps than to find out what it takes to wear the uniform," Monet said.

She laced her boots and got into formation with Gunnery Sergeant Trenton Tucker as they both followed Gunnery Sergeant Eric Martinez's lead.
