Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the urban legend on the guard post, which reconsiders the rationality of the established order and hierarchical relationships. Although in terms of its content, this urban legend belongs to the folklore of the armed forces and could be perceived as a critique of militarism or organisational culture, the application of structural-semantic analysis reveals messages pertaining to the broader concept of a career.
