While he served as transporter chief aboard the Enterprise-D did Miles O'brien go on any away missions or did he serve his entire assignment aboard ship?(This does not include shore leave!)

If O'Brien was on the away mission, who would beam the away team back?
But we did see him planetside in the Powerplay, but that was to set up a transporter enhancer, which as transporter chief, would be his specialty, so it was justified.
Unless one counts his trip to the USS Phoenix to talk Captain Maxwell out of starting another war with the Cardassians, then yes, it was.
It would be impossible for O'Brien to work in 4 personnel transporter rooms at the same time!

His specialty. Yeah, the guy went through hours of training to take these things down, set them up in a triangle pattern and turn them on.

What's amazing is that a guy who started off as a no-name background extra wound up getting lines, then a last name, then a first name, then his own subplots and a wife and child, then being spun off as one of the main characters in a new show...all in four years. O'Brien and Colm Meaney had nothing to complain about.
