I have never heard of a Distinguished Conduct Star Medal. During WW2, the Army issued these medals (and many other possibilities) Good Conduct Medal - given for 12 months good conduct Distinguished Service Medal Distinguished Service Cross The only medals with "star" in the name were: Silver Star Medal Bronze Star Medal Hope that helps. Now you can search for them on internet and see which one you have.
Yes. However, there are certain ribbons or medals that officers do not wear which may have been awarded and worn as a prior enlisted soldier. The good conduct medal is an example; it is assumed, and expected, that all officers are of good character and always display good conduct.
The Navy & Marines uses Stars on their good conduct medals. Each Bronze star stands for each three years of good service. The stars switch to silver after 15 years of good service.The Army and Air Force use clasps with knots to show each award. There break down is as follows:Bronze clasps indicate the second (two loops) through fifth award (five loops);Silverclasps indicate sixth (one loop) through tenth award (five loops); andGold clasps indicate eleventh (one loop) through the fifteenth award (five loops).
Good Conduct Medals are awarded for every 4 years of service without any major incidents (other than Captain's Mast (NJP). For 12 years of consecutive Good Conduct, Navy Veterans wear gold chevrons/hash marks instead of the normal red on Navy Blues.
The maroon ribbon is the Navy Good Conduct Medal; the ribbon is worn in place of the medal when full formal dress requiring medals/ribbons aren't required. The Secretary of the Navy recently authorized the merging of the Marine Corps Good Conduct with the Navy's - the Navy Good Conduct will be authorized for wear by both Sailors and Marines.

Medals are usually made from metal alloys which are good conductors of heat.
That depends on what you did while you were in. You'd have at least five Good Conduct Medals, provided you didn't do anything which got you in any serious trouble during that time - that's for the Army, and I can't speak for the Marine Corps and their policies. Other than that, you get awarded medals as you've earned them, not for time in service. Audie Murphy was one of the most highly decorated vets of WWII, but he only put in three years (nine if you include his later service with the Texas National Guard after the war).
