Anyone feel like you could have proposed a better strategy in combat and are really furious when it proves that the course of action you did have to take was flawed?

Sometimes I suggest to my LT what we could do better, but in the end, the higher-ups are the ones who are paid to make strategies. My duty as sergeant is to make sure my squad doesn't screw up their mission.

Of course, all the time but I accept that I am not in the position to make the calls so I have to be patients and learn as much as I can so I will be equipped to make the right calls when I am in that position

Fortunately I have never been in combat but I have heard stories of soldiers that thought that they had a better strategy and so they went with that and it actually made things worse

I have heard of stories like this as well. Just follow commands as best you can. It's too much at stake to depend on your ego

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
