US Army officers rank insignia?
Depends on your rank and the uniform. On the Class A uniform and dress blues, enlisted personnel wear fabric insignia on the sleeves, whereas officers wear pin-on insignia on the epaulets. On the Class B uniform, Private (E2), Private First Class (E3), and Specialist (E4) would wear metallic insignia pinned through the collar, whereas Corporal and higher would wear shoulder boards on the epaulets. On the older Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs) and Desert Combat Uniform (DCU), rank insignia would be worn on the collar points. On the current Army Combat Uniform (ACU), it is worn on a velcro tab on the front of the uniform. Officers and Warrant Officers wear their rank insignia on the beret, whereas enlisted personnel wear their regimental crest. Rank insignia is usually sewn onto helmet covers - however, this is often a moot point, as the placement of the rank insignia on the kevlar helmet often leaves it covered by the mounting plates for night vision goggles.

What is the most stars a general can have?
Right now, four. There are three ranks above this: General of the Army is a five-star rank. One officer can be promoted to it during wartime. General of the Armies is probably a six-star rank, but no one's quite sure: the only officer to wear it was General Pershing, who was allowed to create his own rank insignia. He wore four gold stars--other generals wear silver stars. General of the Armies of the United States is the highest rank there can ever be, and it's held by George Washington. It has no insignia.
What letters are placed after an officer's name to indicate he is a Supply Officer who is Qualified in Submarines?
The Warfare Designation letters for those like myself who are or have been Qualified in Submarines is "SS". For example, my own rate/rank is STS1(SS), which stands for "Sonar Technician, Submarines, First Class(Submersible Ships)" Generally, specialty officers (officers who aren't Line Officers, such as Doctors or Pork Chops (Supply Officers)) are titled with their particular specialty as letters after their rank and name. For example, a Supply Lt. named Donald Mason, who is Qualified in Submarines, would be: Lt. Donald Mason, SO(SS) - where "SO" denotes Supply Officer, and SS is Submersible Ships, or Qualified in Submarines. Specialty officers also wear insignia denoting their particular area of expertise on their collar along with their rank insignia. For example, Line Officers wear rank insignia on both collars (a Lt. would wear railroad tracks on both sides) but an SO would wear Lt. bars on one side and the Supply Corps insignia on the other collar.
