The best advice I can give you is to start at either wing position. This will allow you to learn both as they are similar in so many ways. A lot of folks mentioned, learn them all, but there's so much to learn and it will just be too much at one time.
I do agree however, you may want to work the four first and see which one you feel comfortable at.
There's much more to learn than just the rules, mechnics, the way you handle yourself as an official, be mature and professional. Conduct yourself in a professional manner and you will gain much respect from the other officials and coaches. When I walk onto a playing surface, I keep my chin up and eyes wide open. I always introduce myself and tell the coach were I'm from.
Learn preventative officiating techniques, stay on top of the game by frequent stops here and purchase some resources to read. Most of all, take it a game at a time and have fun, remember to read rule 2.
Good luck
