ABSTRACT
This article assumes that career soldiers in the highest positions in the army run by different designs. The most typical is the way of commanding. Military organizational culture, however, is more diverse and gives military personnel the ability to implement professional by paths other than commanding. The author, using the concept of Joseph Campbell (in which said he assumed that the activities, motivations and interpretations of people reveals the cultural heritage: archetypes, myths, symbols and metaphors), compares the attitudes of the generals and admirals, expressed in their narratives, with figures of Greek mythology. Olympian gods represent archetypal personality whose manifestations can be seen in the attitudes of individuals in the organization. Values and mythological characters represented by the character can be identified in culture organization. The author, using interpretative framework for analyzing the concept and the way Campbell’s official top military commanders, trying to capture the differences in the types of career military, proposing to divide them into 4 types of careers: commanding, science, diplomacy, and in the institutions of Defense.
