All services · FAA Table A-2
All 21 Army MOS entries from Appendix A of AC 65-30B Change 1, reproduced in full. 11 map to both ratings outright.
What the table shows
The shortest of the five tables and the most generous by proportion: eleven of twenty-one rows map to both ratings. The 15-series is aviation maintenance.
Pay attention to the redesignation history. The 67-series became the 15-series, and some codes moved into the 68-series along the way. The “previous code” column exists precisely for this — find yourself under whichever number you actually held, not the one the Army uses today.

Both = “Airframe and Powerplant.” Note 2: “Codes listed in the 'Previous Code' column are no longer active but remain listed, since experience does not expire.”
Your old code still counts
The AC states it directly: “Aviation maintenance experience does not expire; therefore, the codes in the 'Previous Codes' column are still valid for persons wishing to credit their military aviation maintenance experience toward meeting the requirements of an FAA Mechanic Certificate.”
There is no cut-off date and no requirement that your service be recent. If you got out in 1994, your code is as valid today as it was then.
Where your evidence lives
iPERMS is the current digital personnel file. Start there for qualification designations and administrative entries.
Army training appears on the Joint Services Transcript. Note that JST accounts auto-disable after 30 days of inactivity, so an account you made years ago will likely need re-registering rather than logging into.
Everyone needs a DD Form 214, Member-4 or Service-2 — not Member-1, which omits fields you need. milConnect is fastest if your separation date qualifies; eVetRecs and the SF-180 are the fallbacks.
The part the table does not tell you
Finding yourself in the table above establishes which rating your experience points at. It does not establish how much creditable experience you have — and that is the number that decides whether you can apply at all.
Training time does not count: not boot camp, not your MOS or tech school, not the follow-on pipeline. For many maintainers that is six to twelve months off the top. Purely supervisory and inspection time is at risk too, which hits the most senior people hardest.
Work out where you actually stand — it takes about two minutes and it is the thing to do before you request a single record.
