In general:
Most fun I've ever had with workouts. If I wasn't 18x, I would still be utilizing SEALFit as my main workout program. It's wonderful having suckfests programmed for you by someone with experience. I also like the SEALFit community better than the CrossFit (CF) community. Compared to CF, I believe SEALFit is definitely a step up in terms of mental and physical conditioning. After adapting to CF, SEALFit was the next logical step for me in improving general physical preparedness (GPP).
In regards to SFAS:
I do not believe religiously following the main programming alone will prepare someone for selection. Based on the knowledge available on this forum, SEALFit main programming does not include enough rucking (posted 1 or 2 times per month), running or calisthenics to be a good selection preparation program. And, to be honest, the candidate WODs likewise do not include enough rucking for a ruck-based selection like SFAS.
To conclude, I feel that SEALFit is outstanding (better than CF) for both GPP and mental conditioning, which can help those aspects of training involved in selection prep programs, but doesn't focus on the specifics that the QPs (and the Army, for that matter) have declared necessary for selection preparation. If GPP is what you want, I would recommend SEALFit over CF.
DISCLAIMER: I've made some assumptions here concerning SFAS, which I've yet to attend. I believe the assumptions to be reasonable based upon the knowledge provided on this forum by those who have attended the course. Please correct me if I am incorrect or stepping too far outside of my lane.
