init s is your run level and defines what services are running (which for single user mode is not very many).
if you run the following command you can see what milstones are online.
each milestone is marked as online when the pre-requisite services are running, so if you ran init s you should see single usermode online.
Multi user mode would be disbaled because the services required for this would be stopped.
a run level defines what services are stopped/started, a milestone marks whether the required services have been started i.e. has the milestone for that group been reached.
