Indeed one and the same:
” PACIFIC OCEAN (June 28, 2008) Adm. Timothy J. Keating, right, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, acts as a landing signal officer (LSO) on the flight deck aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). LSOs are naval aviators who observe landing aircraft and communicate with the pilots to help safely land the aircraft. Kitty Hawk will be taking part in the ‘Rim of the Pacific’ exercise off Hawaii in July with units from Australia, Chile, Japan, the Netherlands, Peru, South Korea, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. This will be Kitty Hawk’s last exercise before returning to the U.S. mainland for decommissioning in early 2009. Kitty Hawk will be replaced by USS George Washington (CVN 73) this summer as the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier operating from Japan.

Yup, he’s aged a bit since I was last briefing him as N3/5 in the 5 sided puzzle palace. Then again, we all have. I looked at some pics of me before Pentagon, and after Pentagon, holly crap I had a lot more grey when I left.
Good man though, would have loved to work for him more directly.
Grey hair? Heck, at least you still *had* hair

Thats funny there, don’t care what anyone thinks. I think the DNI left with a lot less that what he came in with along with some of the other briefers. I try not to sweat the small stuff and only worry about crap I have influence on. At the Pentagon, not much other than my brief.
