Man i'm so sad to find this out. I knew andy personally, i was stationed with him on Camp Pendleton. He was a great guy, awesome leader and husband. The Marine Corps and Navy just lost a great corpsman. He's in a better place now. God bless him and his family.

I served with Andy for almost 4 years in Camp Pendleton. He was FMF.
He was a great corpsman and even better man. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
Semper Fi brother!

I new HM2 Andrew King when I was stationed with him on the Kennedy in 1998. I was his LPO, needless to say I was heart broken when HMC Manahan told me about this tragedy. I watched him grow from a young HR, who was like many of us to a shining Second Class Petty Officer. The Hospital Corps lost a good man. Being a Doc is not easy, danger lurks at every corner. I remember when he got his Surface Warfare Pin. That was a proud day for all of us. Semper Fi Doc King. Rest in Peace Brother.
