I say don't do it. I had a couple people in my paramedic program that hadn't been an EMT for very long. Good ALS spans from the foundations of BLS. If you're new to it and haven't run many calls you lack the pertinent experience - not to mention good stories to tell classmates. I've worked with new Paramedics that don't even know how to use a stair chair - embarrassing? Take your time, learn the ropes...
So you should go for stories? Go straight to medic, any program worth its salt will teach you how to use equipment. You gain field experience during ride times.
