It depends on how many stars, what kind of stars, and how many ribbons you have...
In general...stars are worn in the middle of the medal. If you have more than one star, place them horizontally and in the middle of the medal in order of precedence. (examples: 2 stars the center line will be in between the two stars, 3 stars the center line will be the middle star).
Note: stars are placed with 1 point up and 2 points down
If you have overlapping medals, just push stars to the left until all are visible. If they cannot all be seen when placed horizontally, you can place them vertically.
hope this helps

The US Navy and Marine Corps are both parts of the US Navy. Then there's shore establishments, HQ's and Operating units if I'm correct. If you want a more simple answer- The Navy, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, and the Marine Corps.
If the medal is documented in your DD214, you may be entitled to wear it. You will have to consult the specific regulations. Most medals can be worn, but after the Marine medals.
