I believe you might find that the Sultan attended, and is a graduate of
the
Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

Great, so he attended an academy. What military did he ever actually
serve in? And how did he get all those ribbons* and such in this
mystical military?

On graduation he was commissioned a Captain - at the time Brunei was a
British protectorate, independence came in 1984, so how about the British
Army (I'm not sure if British protectorate status gave him UK citizenship,

Any service was pretty dammed brief , his official bio says

"he later qualified for admission as an officer cadet at the
Sandhurst Royal Military Academy and was commissioned
as a Captain in 1967. He left Sandhurst in October of the
same year to ascend the throne."
