Edit to add:
Many of us have a laundry list of ASI's and as far as I know you can only put "two" on your MOS line.
To augment Team Sergeant's note,,
This is the PDF file of an Army pamphlet that supersedes, AR 211-201, dated 1999, 956 pages. A lot to read, but Acrobat browser has a search function.

My MOS, 18Z5 designates me as a Special Forces Master Sergeant, the "H" is an Instructor (see def below) W8 is a Military Free Fall Parachutist. I have a few more ASI's that are not losted, such as Q8, and a few language ASI's.

That was, shall we say, interesting.
Was glad to swap out the H for a M.
I had searched on 5H and was misled by the Internet. I will stand by my thank you however.
