OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

IT is Intensive Training, extra physical training often given as a corrective action.
I see you have joined your PIR group; you may also want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (clickable link). There will be a lot of great information and support for you there as well as in the PIR group. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the group. The Page, What does ??? mean? (A Guide to Navy Abbreviations and Terminology), can help you with terms like that.

He said that is commander of chief said that he was the only person he had not been able to break yet and that he was upset at that, so he was determined to break him and therefore the 3 1/2 hours of IT. He was/is the R-POC of his unit, so I guess that's what happens?

I hope that he is still the RPOC--some divisions go through a few of those and some have one the whole time. Most importantly, I hope that he now realizes that BC is all about the whole division and not just himself and that he retains some of that as he goes into the Fleeet. Those who need to be broken are those who have an attitude that gets in the way of the division working together as a team. Your son has some leadership qualities and military bearing or he would not have been chosen as RPOC or for the 900 division of his TG or, from your comments elsewhere, for the Color Guard.

I'll keep praying that everybody is really doing what is for the highest good.
You can write encouraging words to your son.
