I think DIgh may have been the word I was wanting, but it didn't come up in my search.
I've been really slow at learning new words.

Maybe instead of using {bam}, use
the related word {DIgh}, perhaps
{DIghpu'wI'} "one who has dealt
with (something)."
I'd also be
inclined to pair {chu'chu'wI'} (one who is
clearly/perfectly new) for a newbie with
{ta'ta'wI'} (one who has
deliberately accomplished) for an old pro, and
that covers about the
same territory as
rookie/veteran.

trying to find a pair of relatively simple words that I can
use to label people as the equivalent of rookies (it's
their first time experiencing something) or veterans
(they've been through it before).

{chu'wI'} "newcomer", but I can't

ever needed this kind of distinction, and if so, did you
come up with anything satisfactory?
