I'll be sure to be extra careful. We were jumping with two D-level coaches who were watching over us. The other jumper has over 40 jumps so our jumpmasters were confident that it would be alright!

Typically a student cannot/should not jump with other people until he attains the A license (around 25 jumps, including AFF). It can actually be a bit dangerous to do so before you have some jumps alone, so be particularly careful :| I read what Neil Hinkle said and it’s the same in my DZ, in Portugal.

Next time you are in a skyvan, try this- assuming there is a hang bar- lay on your belly at the end of floor, head and shoulders looking down. Grab the bar and do a somersault, then hang there and watch people exit. Let the other skydivers and the pilot know your plan ahead of time. Blue skies! Awesome!

They were just kind of hovering, watching. The girl I jumped with has 40 jumps, she just hasn't applied for her license yet. She definitely has the tracking down. I'm picking up on that surprisingly fast too! We had two D licensed fun jumpers in the sky with us. They were just kind of hovering, watching.

You said that who you jumped with is new to the sport also. How do you handle tracking away from each other if you are both new to the sport? Any fear of your tracking skills and not getting enough separation? At my home DZ, students jump with an instructor or just by themselves on the upper AFF levels (until you are licensed).
