Yeah.  One of my players did.  He also acquired a way cool aligator-skin
tote to carry it in.

They can be read and memorized anytime/anywhere.  There are some
WordRunes that are given or found during specific Raids, but those are
reminders of what you might have learned.  Light Raider Handbook (LRH)
has very specific directions on when WRs may be used (Page 54-55), but I
can find no place in the AMM or LRH that restricts when you can learn
one.

LRT is the most linear of the games.   LRT is fairly linear, but after
that, it is hex-grid and go where you want.  I have had complaints from
playtesting groups about County Faire being non-linear.  Sorry.

The AMM, page 68, "A LightRaider may not take on any of the special
roles until he has successfully completed three missions - even if he
meets the requirements.  Only after he has successfully completed three
adventures and has high enough characteristics may he select a role
class."
