I can't really help that much except to say that my husband was stationed at fort bragg which is essentially fayettville (we recently moved). It is definitely a military town obviously and there isn't a whole lot to do there. However, Raleigh is 45 minutes away so you can go there if for great shopping, etc. When we thought he was staying there I did go to an open house at cape fear and everyone seemed really friendly. They interviewed me on the spot and I was still in school! Also, they have these 'schools' that you can apply to such as ' progressive care school,' 'critical care school' and some others which seem like they would be really beneficial to new grad nurses. I was disappointed that we weren't going to be staying there and even had to cancel a second interview but the recruiter was very nice about that also and even told me to call if we are ever moved back there. That isn't a lot of concrete information but I got a really good feeling from the interactions I had with the staff and recruiters. Hope some of that helps!
