[1] In 1972, when RBN was still known as 1st Boat Company RBMR (ALP AMDB), Abdul Jalil enlisted in the RBMR.

Military career

Since he was little, he had wanted to join the military. His first position was executive officer of the 30-person crew KDB Pahlawan (P-01). He organized a missile launch exercise utilizing SS11 and SS12 at the time, using Pelong Rocks as the target. In Brunei's waters in the early 1970s, He came across illegal immigrant ships, particularly from Vietnam. As a result, all ships in the fleet at the time were always on guard duty. During one of his patrols, the ship he was aboard dragged a boat carrying illegal immigrants for security reasons. Unfortunately, the towing line had to be broken in order to prevent accidents due to the poor weather and sea situation. The RBN Commander was Abdul Jalil from 5 February 1995 until 13 June 2002.
