That is an exploding bomb.
Unless requested otherwise, I always addressed retired personnel by their rank, in this case Master Gunnery Sergeant, in a less formal situation "Top" would be acceptable as well.
No. You have ranks mixed up. Stars are given to officers and a Sergeant is given stripes. A gunnery sergeant is a Marine master sergeant or the same as a E9 in the Army. They are considered enlisted noncoms officer.
A gunny sergeant is short for gunnery sergeant. A gunnery sergeant is a rank of the US Marine Corps. It is the seventh enlisted rank (E-7) right above a staff sergeant and right below a master sergeant.
Master Sergeant is a rank in the Marines. Master Gunnery Sergeant, Major and Major General are additional Marine ranks.

Salary varies depending on time served. A Master Gunnery Sergeant or Sergeant Major, each holding the pay grade of E-9, would earn $4,254.50 a month with 10 years in. With additional time served or other allowances, this would increase.
Because that is possibly the finest rank in the Corps, with the exception of Master Gunnery Sergeant.
I assume you are talking about E-8 and E-9 ranks. At E-8 you become either a First Sergeant or a Master Sergeant. If you take the First Sergeant route the next rank becomes Sergeant Major. If you take the Master Sergeant route the next rank becomes Master Gunnery Sergeant.
If the recruiter is an active duty US Marine he can become any grade that he earns through hard work, recommendations from a commanding officer and length of service time. Marines start as private, pfc, lance corporal, corporal, sergeant, staff sergeant and then gunnery sergeant. And finally the highest ranks of enlisted men the Master Sergeant and First Sergeant
A Gunnery Sergeant has multiple jobs. One is, if their base is under attack, to arm all the weapons for soldiers to use. He also trains soldiers at a camp and at the shooting ranges on accuracy, how to reload, etc., In the beginning of Halo 2, a Master Gunnery Sergeant is in an armory teaching the Master Chief (player) on how his shields work. Then, laster, you see him get killed by some Covenant Elites. Then, if you're low on ammo, you can re-stock on ammo to continue.
