Just to clarify how this normally works:
An "A" service is ALWAYS supposed to be followed by a "B" service. A "B" service SHOULD be followed by an "A" service, HOWEVER, if you go over 14,000 miles after that "B" service, it instead needs a "B" service once again, a "B" after a "B".

Bear in mind also there are some items which are not governed by the FSS system. Namely, the air and fuel filters are done at every 60,000 miles or 4 years, the brake fluid should be replaced at 2 year intervals, and the coolant flush is due every 3 years.
The spark plugs on a 98 and 99 are due every 100,000 miles or 4 years, on a 2000 and newer it's every 100,000 or 5 years.
I also recommend tire rotations at every service, MB for some odd reason has the rotation included only on the "B" service.
