The Son is submitted to the Father in the same way our self-image and self-expression should be submitted to our core self, in that it accurately and faithfully expresses what we really are (or, in our current state, what our spirit says we should be). That's called "integrity." This is what "the Son does nothing but what he sees the Father do" means.

But it's not exactly subservience in the sense of the centurion and his subordinates, because the Father and the Son are co-equal and even the Son is now Lord of all. It's the subservience of a being's "outer" self being consistent with his "inner" self. Though when expressed in human form as Jesus it appeared like the subservience of the subordinates to the centurion.
