So, if a company has 40 plebes traditionally -- #1-14 will receive A's, #15-32 receive B's, and #33-40 would be C's. Theoretically, it is possible for someone who might be #31 to have significant conduct problems and the company officer could assign him/her a "D," which would then "bump" everyone up one (hence why I put percentages, because the company officer cannot exceed those).

Something that I think is getting missed here (and that I didn't really understand fully until a firstie) is that the company officer rankings usually aren't really from the company officer.
This is why being a ghost during the ac year as a plebe or youngster can really hurt you: you might be doing everything right, but if you're just a face in the crowd no one knows or cares.
I thought "Conduct" was a different category that was assigned an separate grade. I would think lowering a midshipman's "Aptitude" grade because of "Conduct" is like double jeopardy.
