Well, I am not sure that I am getting the question straight. I will try to fill in the gabs. I'll be greatfull to be corrected if I stay with something wrong or not known for sure.

1964 - 1970 Major Zero and Ocelot stood in touch. How they have met after Operation Snake Eater, in the first place, I am not sure. But I think to remember that Ocelot was suppose to be Snakes CIA contact Adam, who could not reveal himself to Snake because Eva swooped in earlier. So Ocelot and Zero could have known each other all along. Snake disappeared from any scene and fought in several combats in that time without contact to Zero, Ocelot and/or Eva or other Patriot founders, as far as we know. Until 1970 and the San Hieronymo incedent, after wich the Patriots were found.

1970 - 1972 Snake staying with the Patriots didn't last long. He left Zero and the Patriots after LET. I dont know exactly how and when this is mentioned. It could be just a wiki-info, graphic Novels or the MGS-Database from PS3. But I try to fokus on native Gameplay Stroytelling. Anything else is open to be retconed, in my eyes. I am just saying this because I have that feeling that the reason why and how Snake left the Patriots could be mentioned, explained or even shown in TPP (holding hopes on that one). Anyway, Snake has left.

1972 - 1973 Snake meets Miller. They found and build up MSF.

1974 The Peace Walker incedent. Snake is offered to rejoin the Patriots and refuses.

1975 Camp Omega incident (Ground Zeroes). Snake, aka Big Boss, falls into a 9 year coma, after MSF is destroyed.

1984 Snake wakes up and gets picked up by Ocelot (an Agend never be known to act for one side only). Ocelot is still a member of the Patriots, aka Cipher, and working against them with Snake and Miller biulding Diamond Dogs upon the ashes of MSF.

1985 - 1989 The exact year isn't known yet, when Outer Heaven was founded and build. I'm pretty sure it will be revealed in TPP. Snake, somehow gets to lead FOXHOUND again. Hoping that this will be revealed in TPP too.

1995 The Outer Heaven Uprising

1999 The Zanzibarland incident

2005 The Shadow Moses incedent

.... and so on.

There is actually a page were the Metal Gear Story is brought to the importand points pretty nicely. It also stays what Metal Gear Story is actually about.

What happend to FOXHOUND and/or Campbell during 1970 - 1989 is unknown yet. But it is actually not that importand to the main canon and the evolution of the charakters that are leading each particular Story, or incident if you want.

BB has the Patriots in mind of course. But in every strory, adventure, incidend you were/he was on a mission. So he is not reminiscing about the patriots, Eva or his "Sons". Besides, he mentiones the Patriots in PW by telling Miller the Cipher (the name of the "organisation" Paz works for) means Zero.

I hope I and that link could clear things up for you.
