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.

"Department of the Army Pamphlet 611–21"

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.
