Nice! So I dont need prior approval of a RAD to schedule recurrent on my   

to attend recurrent because its less than 14 consecuitve days.

Correct

In other words I can self schedule my recurrent on my own and I am not requried to notify or ask permission from a RAD prior to scheduling it.

Correct, unless it is on one of your regularly scheduled work days (shifts) at your base.  Then you do need permission.

If the RAD denies the request now I only have to endeavor to schedule it on my off time,

Correct, and if there are openings on your off time, like the first time you self-scheduled it, you SHALL sign up for them.  

I am not required.

Not wanting to is not endevoring to!  IOWs, you are required if it's available.  Not wanting to work on a day off is not a valid claim when you are required to endevor to do so.

Totally makes sense now.

Cool!

The RAD language was total fluff language to make them feel like they have any real authority over my time off.

The RAD language was what can require if he want, since it is his discretion to approve / disapprove all requests to schedule training on a regularly scheduled work period (shift).   Noting "fluff" about it, and they actually do have real authority over approving and disapproving it!

Oh, and even if Im scheduled inside of 60 days by the company, if I cant make it to those dates its is up to me and the training department to reschedule, again not up to the RAD.

Not exactly.   It up to you and the Training Department to agree on dates, and if those dates are on your normally scheduled shift dates, 15.1 C the RAD's approval shall be needed!  That straight forward explicit requirment didn't evaporate!   And, also remember, if you can't attend those mandatory training dates they assign you, and you lapse, you go on UNPAID leave until you get trained, since you could have endevored to do it on your OFF days.
