What is the date in Edward Elric's watch?

23
Oct 3, 10 is an important day in Fullmetal Alchemist lore (10/3/11 in FMA: Brotherhood). This date, inscribed inside of Ed's pocket watch as “Don't Forget 3. Oct. 10,” marks the moment when the Elric brothers began their journey by setting their childhood home ablaze, vowing to never turn back.


Correspondingly, what is Edward Elric's rank?

Ed is a State Alchemist, but what's his rank within the military hierarchy? Col. Mustang explicitly mentions a few times he's his 'superior officer', so he's a bit lower than that, but how does he compare to Maj.

Also Know, what kind of alchemist is Ed? ????·?????, Edowādo Erurikku), given the codename Fullmetal Alchemist (??????, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) is the youngest State Alchemist in the history of the organization having gained his admittance at the age of 12.

Similarly one may ask, when did Ed and Al burn down their house?

On October 3rd, Edward returned to Resembool, packed up his belongings, burned down the Elric house (claiming that, without it, he and his brother would have no means of turning back from their goal) and left home with Alphonse to find a way to restore him to normal.

How old are the Elric brothers?

He was twelve years old then, and Al was 11 years old. To shorten my answer, Edward Elric was 11 years old and Al Elric was 10 years old when they've done the human transmutation. (Refer to Brotherhood series; his present is 17 years old in Episode 2.)
