The EA exams are only important to pension actuaries - if you work in other lines of business, like Life or Health Insurance, you will not need to take EA exams.

The EA exams basically cover pension-related topics, like regulations, laws and funding principles that generally only pension people need to be familiar with. If you enroll in the FAP modules, you'll get a taste of pension funding principles in one of the middle modules (Module 4? I'm not sure - I didn't participate in the module).

Don't you also get credit for EA-1 or whichever the first one is if you pass 1-3?

You do. I think the requirement is only related to FM and MLC, I think. In the previous systems, you would get credit for EA-1 by passing Courses 2 & 3, which dealt with time-value of money & life contingencies.
