I fully understand the statement "do your best" however I feel without at least attempting to get some feedback then I am not doing my best.
Thank you very much

We look for the "whole man". The 1SG at SFAS should have explained this to you in detail, to include his "three-legged stool" analogy.
Normal reasons for non-selection in addition to the STAR failure would include poor physical performance, low-intelligence scores, poor aptitude for learning, psych problems, bad spot reports, providing false information, criminal records, inability to obtain a clearance, drug or alcohol problems, poor performance as a team member, and bad peer reports.
In four years of following SFAS classes, I have never seen anyone stay till the end and not be out-counseled.
Were you boarded?
It occurs to me that you probably know deep down inside why you were not selected. You were not selected because you failed to meet a standard. If you can not figure out what it was, that reflects a lack of self-awareness, something that we also look for. If you decide to come back, prepare yourself better in all areas, get your mind right, be a good team member, and do your best.
Good luck.
