They are one and the same. My idea is this: Snake was "on a mission" right before Ground Zeroes, this was mentioned more than once. Maybe (bear with me) Snake is not an idiot and knows Cipher is after him. He tracks down Frank, the boy he met in Portable ops (Null, the perfect soldier), and rescues him. The kid needs guidance, so Snake recruits him secretly as a Medic in MSF (he's a badass soldier and trained in medicine as his "sister" would later be) so Frank is "hidden" within MSF. The real crazy idea (not crazy, it's Metal Gear) is that Big Boss was secretly training Frank to imitate him so he could throw Ciper/Zero off his trail, hence voice training (the medic sounds like Kiefer but not 100 yet.)  But things got out of control when Paz's bomb threw Big Boss in a coma and damaged Frank's face. Frank, the most loyal solider to Big Boss in history, watches over him and later helps Big Boss as a double at some point. Just an idea. Frank is just too important a charater not to have a big role like that.

You can search in youtube, a lot of evidence, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSQZ No just...just no. All you'd find is Python Sylken's stupid as hell theory videos.
